Ranchi: A tragic incident occurred on Wednesday evening at the MVS Crusher Plant in Dhusruwa, located in the Pipra police station area of Palamu. Rajendra Yadav, the tanker driver, died after being electrocuted while filling diesel into a DG generator. Despite more than 17 hours passing since the accident, the body remains at the accident site as the family is protesting, demanding compensation and other assurances, refusing to allow the body to be moved.
According to reports, Rajendra Yadav was operating a mini diesel tanker at the plant. On Wednesday evening, while he was refueling the generator, he was electrocuted.
