Kolkata: A 52-year-old man, who fell into an open hole near Seven Tanks Road in Dum Dum on Friday night, died for hours at the hospital.
The locals pulled him out after hearing his scream and offering RG Kar Medical College & Hospital where he died early on Saturday.
The doctor said they tried to water the wastewater that had swallowed waste but his condition deteriorated quickly and poison in the water could cause his death.
The autorickshaw driver, Ranjan Saha had parked his rental car at the residence of the owner in the seven tanks and was on his way home at the Bediapara Dum Dum for about 15 minutes when the accident occurred around 9:45 a.m.
The Saha family who was destroyed blamed the authority of the citizenship because it closed blind eyes to the open hole that claimed his life.
His wife, Soma, said death had dropped their lives into uncertainty because he was a single bread ear.
Their Son Elder Akash is in college while Younger’s son of Study Kisan in class III.
“Without work, we will perish.
There should be appropriate investigations for the incident.
We must be given a job on humanitarian reasons,” he said.
Tarak Singh, Corporate Administrator Kolkata Municipal who oversees the sewerage and drainage department, blamed the state PWD officials because they did not act with warnings that the civil body had published a bottle with a flood in September.
The Chairman of the KMC Administrator Board, Firhad Judge, said the police needed to investigate death and find out what really happened.
Coordinator Bangsal Pushpali Sinha did not rule out the possibility of playing cheating but the police said there was no evidence of murder.
“No one filed a complaint.
Prima Facie, there is no evidence that he was driven by someone,” said a police officer.
Local residents say the Cover of Manhole where Saha fell often removed at night by young people from slums adjacent to relieving themselves.
Some even claim that Saha has been overthrown while eliminating it into it.
One of the relatives of Saha, Chandrasekhar, said the 52-year-old child might not see an open hole because of poor lighting in place.
The missing hole cover is not a new threat in Kolkata and its environment.
The racket who stole the hole cover at night and sold it as a scrap iron still operating in several regions, said a citizenship official, telling the tragic death of toddlers in the Ultangga area after the child fell to the open hole a few years ago.
Citizenship authorities do not seem to learn lessons from a newer example where a woman is trapped in open manhole in a new city in September.
The woman was saved after two and a half hours.
