In a tragic incident in Delhi’s Krishna Nagar area on Tuesday, an air conditioner mechanic was killed when an AC compressor exploded during repair work, while a nearby motorcyclist narrowly escaped.
The fatal accident was captured by a nearby CCTV camera, which recorded the exact moment of the explosion. The footage shows the mechanic, identified as Manohar Lal, working on the air conditioning unit while another person was seated on a stationary motorcycle nearby.
When the explosion occurred, Lal was thrown to the ground while the motorcyclist quickly moved to safety. The resulting smoke momentarily obscured Lal from view. When visible again, the mechanic, clearly in severe pain, attempted to stand and walk a few steps before collapsing.
The video shows another person rushing to check on Lal as he lay motionless on the ground. Shortly after, a crowd gathered around the injured mechanic, but no signs of movement could be observed from him.
In a similar incident, one person died and another was injured after an AC compressor exploded at Neelam Hospital in Mohali. Explosion took place when a mechanic was repairing the AC.
