Three others – Swadin Rajmal, Lalbabu Turi and Fadar Marandi, all natives of Jharkhand – were undergoing treatment at the same hospital. Since all three sustained over 80 percent burn injuries, their condition was critical.

Vinod Kumar is survived by his wife and a six-month-old son. Relatives of the victims staged a protest in front of the company on Wednesday demanding justice for them. They alleged that the accident occurred because the management had failed to ensure safety measures at the workplace.
