The Story in Brief
A 31-year-old labourer, Rahul, died after being crushed by a crane in west Delhi's Mayapuri on Saturday. The crane driver, Dharam Dev, 49, was arrested and later released on bail.
Police received a PCR call about the accident and reached the spot to find Rahul had succumbed to his injuries. A case has been registered.
The Indian Opinion
Industrial accidents often vanish from public memory once the driver is out on bail. While the driver may not be the only party at fault, the focus must shift to who owns the crane and why safety measures failed. The real test will be whether the police investigation names the actual employer and holds them accountable under workplace safety laws.
