A Delhi bank worker died after falling into an uncovered construction pit; three officials suspended, investigation launched.

A 25-year-old bank employee, Kamal Dhayani, died after falling into a 20-foot-deep, uncovered construction pit on Joginder Singh Marg in West Delhi’s Janakpuri area late Thursday night. His body and motorcycle were discovered Friday morning by police, who confirmed the incident occurred near a Delhi Jal Board pipeline project site. Dhayani, last seen around 11:30 p.m., was reported missing by his family, who said they received little help from police during a night-long search. Authorities have suspended three officials, launched a government investigation, and filed a case under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. The incident has sparked public outrage and political criticism, drawing comparisons to a similar death in Noida, with demands for stricter safety enforcement at construction sites.
