A similar accident occurred in July last year, when a man died and another was injured while dumping chemicals into a manhole in Gowliguda. The deceased, identified as Bharath Battad (32), and his father Gopal Battad (56), were engaged in trading of unsaturated polyester resin in the locality and worked with certain chemicals. According to eyewitnesses, the man and his father were dumping chemicals into the manhole as their validity had expired. They had added water to the can when it suddenly exploded due to a chemical reaction. Bharath succumbed while Gopal sustained injuries and was treated at Osmania General Hospital.
