Pune: A 42-year-old worker died after a colleague allegedly inserted a high-pressure compressor pipe into his rectum during a night shift at an industrial unit in Pune district's Sanaswadi area. The incident occurred in the early hours of June 30, and a case has been registered at Shikrapur Police Station (under the Pune Rural Police Force).

According to police, the incident took place around 5 am at Western India Forge Pvt. Ltd. in Sanaswadi. Based on a complaint lodged by Santoshkumar Kishore Yadav (32), the victim's brother-in-law, the accused allegedly inserted a high-pressure compressor pipe into Naresh's rectum, causing compressed air to enter his body.
