Rescue teams on Monday recovered the body of 19-year-old Ankit, three days after he and two other colleagues were trapped at a Delhi Jal Board (DJB) sewer line in west Delhi’s Keshopur. According to Sanjay Tomar, divisional officer (Delhi Fire Services), Ankit’s body was found about 50 feet from where the body of his 25-year-old colleague Devinder Sharma was recovered on Sunday. Unlike his colleagues who were swept into the drain line by sewage water, Khan’s hand was stuck in an iron mesh he was fixing. We had to drain out the water in the pipeline to conduct the search for the bodies,” said Tomar. The drain was a very confined space, making it one of the most difficult search operations we have carried out.
