The incident took place during the replacement of the old boiler at the factory premises. Sheikh Jamshed, aged 32, a labourer from Patharia village, Jharkhand, lost his life in the accident. The powerful explosion scattered boiler components across a 500-metre radius, inflicting considerable damage to neighbouring residential buildings.
