A 28-year-old labourer working at a DMRC site for construction of CISF’s transit camp near Shastri Park metro station died after a tripod pillar fell on him, police said on Tuesday.
According to police, the deceased, Humagir, was working at the DMRC site for construction of transit camp for CISF adjacent to Shastri Park metro station. He died on Monday as the tripod pillar fell on him.
A case under Sections 387 (putting person in fear of death or of grievous hurt, in order to commit extortion), 304A (Causing death by negligence) of the Indian Penal Code has been registered and the crime team was called, they added.
A DMRC spokesperson said the “hydra” that unloaded on the labourer was brought to the site without DMRC’s permission.
“A labourer working at the transit hostel accommodation site in Shastri Park died on Monday after a hydra functioning at the site unloaded its load on the labourer. Prima facie, it appears to be an error by the hydra operator.
“The hydra belonged to a sub contractor of the main contractor Aadhar Stambh and had been brought to the site without the permission of DMRC. An enquiry is being conducted into the matter,” said a DMRC spokesperson.
