A 25-year-old migrant worker from Uttar Pradesh has died after falling into a vat of boiling jaggery at a processing plant in Maharashtra. The worker, identified as Danish, suffered catastrophic burns when he plunged into the scalding liquid on 21 August and later died in hospital despite efforts to save him.
Closed-circuit television footage, which emerged late on Sunday evening, has laid bare the final moments of the young father, who had travelled across India to earn money and clear a family debt. The video shows his colleagues racing to pull him from the vat as he cries out for help.
