3 men die inside chemical tank in Gurgaon, firm’s management booked
Three men perished inside a chemical tank at a private firm's facility in Gurgaon on Monday, prompting police to charge the company's management for negligence. The deceased were Naresh Yadav, 56, Anil Jha, 46, and Mohammad Arif, 21. The tragedy unfolded at Sandhar Technologies Limited's Dhumaspur unit, near Bhondsi. Yadav, an employee since 2021, Anil Jha from Bihar, and Mohammad Arif from Muzaffarpur all lost consciousness while working inside the tank without protective gear.
The company failed to provide any safety equipment to the workers. Neighbors rushed the victims to a nearby hospital, but medics pronounced them dead upon arrival. Police registered the case at Bhondsi police station following a complaint from Yadav's son. The investigation includes post-mortem examinations and further inquiries are underway.
This incident echoes a series of similar toxic gas deaths in the National Capital Region (NCR) where workers lacked protective gear while handling toxic substances in confined spaces.
