Summary:
Preliminary police probe suggests heavyduty steel racks had not been properly anchored to the ground, and were found to be wobbly. They started giving way after stuffed cartons were kept on them.“Anchoring of racks was a substandard job. The warehouse was built and owned by Manjunath, from Seegehalli, who leased it to Holisol in July 2017. The warehouse that’s about 40ft high had racks right up to 30ft or more. Eight workers were found buried under hundreds of stuffed cartons that were loaded on to heavy-duty steel racks, police said.Four workers — Kuldeep, in charge of the warehouse; Janaki Ram, of Tirumalashettihalli Cross; Narayanaswamy, of Channasandra; and Bahubali, from Nepal — were pulled out from under the boxes in the nick of time..
