A young supervisor at Technomat Spring Pvt. Ltd. in the Waluj industrial area died suddenly on Thursday, sparking tension as relatives gathered at the company gate, suspecting foul play. Police intervention quickly restored order.
According to police, Swapnil Pandit Rathod (24, Rajnagar Shenpunji, Waluj), was on duty when he lost consciousness. He was admitted first to a private hospital and then shifted to Government Medical College and Hospital(GMCH), where doctors declared him dead. Waluj police registered the case as sudden death. On Thursday afternoon, Swapnil’s father, maternal uncle, and several relatives arrived at the company, raising doubts about the death. Police, including police sub-inspector Vandana Mule, held discussions with the management and the family, explaining the legal procedures and investigation process.
