In a tragic incident that has sent shockwaves through the community, three Nepali nationals were found dead inside a farmhouse in Rohtak, Haryana. The police have attributed the cause of death to suffocation, with preliminary investigations pointing towards a faulty heater as the likely culprit.
Details of the Tragic Discovery
The grim discovery was made on a Sunday morning at a farmhouse located in the Sector 14 area of Rohtak. The victims have been identified as Krishna Kumar, 28, Ganesh, 25, and Raju, 26. All three were residents of Nepal and were working in the region. According to police reports, the men were found unconscious inside a room of the farmhouse. They were immediately rushed to the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences (PGIMS) in Rohtak, where doctors declared them brought dead.
Initial observations by the police and medical officials strongly suggest that the trio died due to a lack of oxygen. The room was reportedly sealed, and a gas heater was found inside. It is suspected that the heater, which might have been malfunctioning, consumed the available oxygen in the enclosed space, leading to fatal suffocation. The police have ruled out any signs of foul play or struggle at the scene, corroborating the accidental nature of the incident.
Police Investigation and Statements
Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Uday Singh Meena provided crucial details about the case. He confirmed that the information about the unconscious individuals was received by the police control room, prompting a swift response. "We received a call and found three men in an unconscious state at the farmhouse," stated DSP Meena. "They were taken to the hospital but could not be saved."
The investigation is currently focused on the sequence of events that led to the tragedy. Forensic teams have examined the scene to gather evidence. A key part of the probe involves analyzing the heater to determine the exact technical failure. The police are also speaking to the farmhouse owner and acquaintances of the deceased to piece together their activities prior to the incident. The bodies have been sent for a post-mortem examination to obtain an official medical confirmation of the cause of death.
Community Impact and Safety Warnings
This unfortunate event has highlighted the grave dangers associated with using heating appliances in poorly ventilated spaces, especially during the winter months. The deaths of these three young migrant workers from Nepal have cast a pall over the local Nepali community in Haryana.
Authorities have reiterated critical safety precautions for the public:
- Never use gas heaters, angithis, or coal braziers in completely closed rooms.
- Always ensure adequate ventilation to allow fresh air circulation.
- Regularly service and maintain heating appliances to check for leaks or faults.
- Install carbon monoxide detectors in areas where such appliances are used.
The police are continuing their investigation to finalize the report. This incident serves as a somber reminder of how a simple oversight in winter safety can lead to irreversible loss of life. The local administration is likely to issue fresh advisories to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
