RAWANG: The bodies of three men who fell into an oil storage tank in Rawang have been recovered after the last victim, T. Baskaran, 49, was found at 6.09 pm yesterday. Meanwhile, Gombak District Police chief ACP Ali Ahmad said the large volume of diesel oil of up to 725,000 litres made the process of bringing out the bodies of the victims difficult. He said up to 13 tanker lorries had to be used to pump out the excess diesel from the tank. In the incident at about 4 pm yesterday, all three victims were reported to be carrying out maintenance work at the tank before an explosion occurred, causing them to fall into the tank. “We regret to inform that the bodies of our three colleagues have been recovered today from the fire damaged oil tank.
