 Man Loses Right Hand at a Factory in Gurgaon
Rahul Kumar, a 22-year-old man lost his right hand while working at a factory in Gurgaon's Industrial Model Township. Rahul was working in Chand Industry's C.I. Automotive Technologies at Manesar on the Delhi-Jaipur-Mumbai highway when the tragedy occurred, his colleagues and a company official said.
Kumar, a contractual laborer, was working on a molding machine. "The machine crushed the right hand above the elbow and severed it," a doctor at Rockland Hospital in Manesar said.

The doctors tried to graft the hand back but could not succeed as it was badly crushed.

A company official, Shirish Saxena, said that the worker "accidentally entered a defined area and came in contact with a hopper machine.

"We are providing the best medical treatment at the company's expense. We will also investigate how this happened," he said.

The victim hails from Jhansi in Uttar Pradesh and came to Gurgaon. Police have registered a case.

The victim's elder brother, Dilip Kumar, and his father have told police that they do not want any action against the company.
