Days after biker's death, 32-year-old dies after falling into open manhole in Delhi

The death comes days after a 25-year-old man was killed after falling into a deep pit while riding a motorcycle in west Delhi's Janakpuri, once again raising questions over uncovered drains, open pits and accountability in public spaces across the city.

A 32-year-old labourer died after falling into an open manhole on vacant Delhi Development Authority (DDA) land in Rohini, marking the second such fatal incident in the capital within five days. According to the Delhi Police, a PCR call was received at 2.36 pm on Tuesday, reporting a missing person suspected to have fallen into a sewer. Police teams rushed to the spot following the call.
