'Lacked safety gear': 2 men die in septic tank at building site
Hindustan Times Delhi
|July 27, 2025
An 18-year-old daily-wage labourer and a 32-year-old civil contractor died of suffocation allegedly after inhaling toxic fumes inside a nonoperational septic tank of an under-construction building at Qutub Vihar near Chhawla in southwest Delhi on Friday, police said on Saturday.
The victims were identified as contractor Subhash Mandal and Pradeep Kumar. They were originally from Bihar.
Police and family members of the victims said the two were allegedly not provided safety gear for carrying out the task, adding that a case of causing death by negligence was lodged against unidentified people.
According to officers, the two were removing scaffolding from inside the septic tank when the incident took place at around 10.30am, in B-block of Qutub Vihar Phase 2.
