Mumbai: Two labourers died of suffocation after falling into a 30-foot-deep well at a Ready-Mix Concrete (RMC) plant in Sasupada, Naigaon East, on Friday evening. A third worker, who descended into the well in a rescue attempt, was saved just in time.

The deceased, Vishwajit Rajbhar, 20, and Rajan Rajbhar, 24, were working at the plant and had descended into the well, which was being used to store water, using a rope. The rope is believed to have snapped, causing both men to fall. Upon hearing their cries for help, another labourer, Ajay Yadav, alerted others at the site. Salman Khan, 25, a fellow worker, volunteered to descend into the well to rescue them. However, he too began to suffocate due to the lack of oxygen and poor ventilation in the confined space.

Around 11 pm on Friday, doctors declared Vishwajit and Rajan dead during treatment.
