Medak: Five persons sustained injuries as a cylinder exploded in an illegal gas filling centre at Parkibanda village on Tuesday night.
Since a huge number of migrant workers live in and around Manoharabad, Jagadish, a native of Khammam, saw it as an opportunity to sell refilled gas cylinders to these workers.
While five workers were carrying out the refilling, a gas cylinder exploded. Five workers Lalan Kumar Mahatho, Sanjay Kumar Mahatho, Dharamnath Mahatho, Sanjay Kumar Mahatho and Rajesh Kumar, all from Bihar, sustained serious burn injuries. They were rushed to a hospital where the condition of Sanjay and Lalan was stated to be critical. Toopran DSP Narendar Goud visited the place and examined the crime scene.
