Overview
- CCTV footage from August 27 shows a high‑pressure CNG refuelling hose suddenly bursting at the RK Jain Bharat Petroleum pump on Sakchi‑Kalimati Road and a section of the nozzle striking 24‑year‑old attendant Tushar Khamri, who later died in hospital.
- The rupture caused a gas leak and panic at the station as customers abandoned vehicles and staff tried to render aid while the leak was brought under control.
- Police and safety officials have opened a formal probe to establish the technical cause of the burst and to examine whether staff or operator negligence played a role.
- Tushar’s family has demanded compensation and local reports say the pump management has offered about Rs 10 lakh and other assistance, though official settlement details have not been confirmed.
- Investigators are expected to report technical findings that could determine civil or administrative liability and prompt wider safety inspections of CNG refuelling systems.
