Two men died and another was hospitalised after inhaling toxic gas from a coal brazier that they left burning in their office in Delhi’s Mundka area, police said on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The three were using a coal angithi for warmth inside a room that they had bolted from the inside and slept off, leading to the accumulation of deadly carbon mono-oxide fumes, a police officer said.<\/p>\n
The incident came to light when Pawan, a co-worker from Haryana, alerted the police.<\/p>\n
Police said Rajesh, a resident of Ladpur village in Delhi and Rajender Singh, from Araji Jadaupur in Uttar Pradesh, both 44-years-old, along with their co-worker Mukesh Pandey (26), from Ravidass Nagar in Uttar Pradesh, were found unconscious.<\/p>\n
Rajesh and Rajender were declared dead at the spot while while Mukesh, who was found unconscious, was taken to Mangolpuri Hospital and is undergoing treatment, officials said.<\/p>\n
Preliminary investigations suggest that suffocation caused by toxic fumes from the coal heater led to the deaths. The lack of ventilation in the room exacerbated the situation, according to police.<\/p>\n
The bodies have been sent for post-mortem and further investigation is underway, police said.<\/p>\n
