Two brothers tragically lost their lives while cleaning a mentha processing tank in Suraini Papri village, Badaun district, Uttar Pradesh, on Friday morning. Jaiveer, 24, and Rajesh, 21, succumbed to inhalation of poisonous gas, while their brother Manveer is in critical condition after attempting to rescue them. The incident occurred when their father, Battu Singh, took his three sons to clean the tank used for processing mentha, a widely cultivated aromatic crop in the area. Jaiveer entered the tank first, followed by Rajesh, and Manveer entered to assist when they did not respond. All three lost consciousness due to toxic gas exposure. They were rushed to a private hospital, where doctors pronounced Jaiveer and Rajesh dead on arrival. Manveer was later referred to a medical facility in Moradabad. Local officials are investigating the incident, and a revenue department team has been sent to prepare a report. The family initially declined post-mortem examinations, but authorities are explaining the necessity for compensation claims under government schemes.
