Read this report-
Pankaj Shakya is home in Yadav locality of Khategaon. Pankaj and two of his brothers lived with mother and father at home. Pankaj has two daughters and a boy. The boy is disabled since birth.
Pankaj’s father Devi Lal Shakya says that after the accident, a Gujarat Police jawan called Pankaj’s number and said that Pankaj is in the hospital. You guys come to pick him up. We reached Gujarat after doing the car. Pankaj was badly scorched. He had one hand fine, in which the mark of Om was made and Kalava was tied in his hand. It was only that I could recognize my son.
Pankaj used to drive Seth Raju’s car of Harda
Devi Lal told that Pankaj used to drive the car of Seth Raju Aggarwal of Harda. He lived with them. When his Harda cracker was blasted in the factory last year. Pankaj had become unemployed since then. Anyone used to do small work. A few months ago, Raju Seth called Pankaj back and said that now we have to work in Gujarat. You will get good money there. At the behest of that, he went there with the laborers.
Pankaj’s mother is in deep shock after the son is lost in the accident.
Went to tell me that I would return in 8 days
Pankaj’s wife Lalita said that Pankaj told me that I will leave the workers and return in 8 days. The first Harda cracker used to work in the factory. Harish and Aman were two people. Along with them, these Gujarat used to go to start a closed cracker factory. Who these people were, I do not know, but Handia’s Lakshmi was also with them. She also worked for Harda Raju Aggarwal.
Lakshmi was a widow, was taking responsibility for two children
Repeatedly, when Lakshmi’s name came as a laborers, we reached Handia at her house. Lakshmi’s brother Lalit and her mother live in two rooms inside the campus of a closed maida mill. Lalit works as a guard in this mill.
Lakshmi’s mother Asha Bai said that Lakshmi and her husband used to work as a guard in Raju Aggarwal’s factory. Two years ago, Lakshmi’s husband died due to cooler current in the factory itself. When the factory closed after the blast, Lakshmi became unemployed. She has two daughters aged 18 and 16. Their responsibility was on him alone. That is why she left both her girls to us and went to Gujarat to earn money.
If you want crackers, then a poor person will have to die
Lakshmi’s mother Asha Bai said that those who died in the cracker factory were all poor. Bichare had gone to earn a little money, did not commit any sin, but you people also need crackers. Whether it was marriage or Diwali… didn’t it happen before firecrackers. Now no poor will die for this?
Now their objections who have returned from Gujarat…
The family could not even see the funeral
25 people of Handia village reached Gujarat to get the bodies of their families as soon as they came to know about the blast in the firecracker factory. He left from here on Tuesday night and reached Gujarat on Wednesday morning. All family members saw the bodies of the dead. Out of those who went to Gujarat, 3 people survived. These include 22 -year -old Rajesh, 14 -year -old Bittu and 3 -year -old Naina. Rajesh and Bittu are real brothers. Vishnu (18), brother between them, has died in the accident.
Those who are left have come back to their homes, but they were delayed in returning and they could not see the funeral of their families, because the bodies had reached Harda on Thursday morning.

Son’s torso was not found, dead body will be found after DNA testing
Santosh Nayak said that Sanjay Nayak, a 10 -year -old son along with 24 laborers here, also went to work to Gujarat. We got the deadbody of all our family members in Gujarat, but there was no Sanjay’s deadbody. Police officials present there told me that there is a deadbody that does not have a head, only torso.
After a few hours, the police took me to the doctor to the hospital. They took out my blood. He said that there will be a complete investigation, then it will be known whose deadbody is. When I asked, he said that it will be detected in a couple of hours.
Santosh is in pain that he has not yet received the son’s deadbody.
Santosh further told that after two hours I again went to the police officers and the doctor. He said that the condition of the body is critical. It is divided into two parts. He will have a DNA test. It may take 1 to two and three days to find out that it is your son. We all waited for the son’s body till night. We had reached there that one hour after that at 10 am, the people of the administration had left for the MP with the bodies of the rest of our dead families. The bodies reached here on Thursday morning. We left from there at 10 pm on Wednesday night and reached here at 5 pm on Thursday evening. The condition of all the dead bodies had worsened, they were starting to rot, so they were cremated before reaching here.
Wife identified bracelets and three sons from Rudraksha of throat
In the accident, his three sons Vijay, Ajay and Krishna, including Guddi, wife of Bhagwan Singh Nayak of Handia, have died. Bhagwan Singh also reached Gujarat to take his family members. Bhagwan Singh said that everything is over. When we reached Gujarat, we first started searching for our families. The police had kept deadbody of all family members in the hospital. The condition of all the bodies was so bad that they were not even being seen. Most of the bodies could not be identified from their mouths. Everyone’s faces were erased.
In the hospital, I first recognized my younger son Krishna. Only the one whose face was exactly left. I identified the remaining two children with Rudraksha tied around their neck. Wife Guddi was identified with Kangan. His name was also written on the half -handed hand.
Bhagwan Singh’s eyes became moist, stating about the identity of the deceased people in the accident.
Contractor Pankaj and Lakshmi seduced Raju Aggarwal at the behest of Raju Aggarwal
Bhagwan Singh said, I left my wife and children to work in the cracker factory in Haat Piplia. After this I went out on the business of making my pressure cooker. Wife and children worked there for two days. After this, these people went to Gujarat. I was not aware of this. Three days later, when a video call of my middle son Vijay came, he told me that he had all reached Gujarat. Then I told him why you guys went so far.
Pankaj and Lakshmi had a hand in taking them to Gujarat. Apart from this, they took our people to Gujarat at the behest of Raju Aggarwal, owner of Harda factory. He lured good facilities and money.
Pankaj and Lakshmi gave 30 thousand rupees advanced
So far, 2 other deadbody pie has not been identified. They will be identified after the DNA test. It is believed that this deadbody may be of Sanjay and Lakshmi of Handia village. 3 people are left alive. Among them, Handia has 22 -year -old Rajesh, 14 -year -old Bittu and 3 -year -old Naina of Sandalpur village.
All three reached their homes from Gujarat at 5 pm with their families. The 14 -year -old Bittu is not in a position to talk to anyone. He is repeatedly closing his eyes and staying from the wall.
22 -year -old Rajesh told that we left for Gujarat on Saturday. Arrived there on Sunday. We took Lakshmi and Pankaj contractors from here to Gujarat. First he said to give 450 rupees of 1000 crackers. If we do not agree, we increased it to 500 rupees. We were also given 30 thousand rupees advance. We reached there on Sunday and we started working with Mande.
Rajesh, who survived the accident, said that you understand how burden is there on my heart.
Lakshmi used to make chemical, we bomb
Work went on well on Monday. Lakshmi used to work to make chemical and gunpowder and we used to fill the box and wrap it in it. That day we had made fine numbers of twenty number of bombs. There were also rooms for us to stay a short distance from the factory.
After finishing Monday’s work, all of us started working again from Tuesday morning. While working, I felt thirsty, so I left for my room to drink water. My younger brother Bittu also came behind me. We were about to enter the room that the sound of a terrible explosion came from behind. When we looked back, there was only smoke. The blast was so dangerous that the roof of our room fell down. We ran away from there. I put my brother away from the factory, then ran towards the factory. There was also my relative and my real brother inside. Meanwhile, I saw a small girl crying in an injured state. She was 3 -year -old Naina. Everyone was burnt to ashes. Don’t know how the girl survived. Perhaps due to a strong explosion, she had fallen a short distance from the factory, so her life was saved. He suffered serious injuries at the back, so I went to the hospital with him and my brother.
You understand my condition, how much burden is there on my heart. My young brother’s rags flew away. He has gone away from us. I will not be able to tell anything further. My mind is not stable, I will speak something and something will come out of the mouth. Saying this, Rajesh became calm.
