A worker of a private company in Guwahati’s Azara was reportedly found dead on Saturday.

The incident has been reported from the premises of PepsiCo in Azara. As per the information received, the deceased worker has been identified as Pranabjyoti Hazarika.

As per reports, Pranab died while working inside the factory early this morning. Situation turned tense at the company after the death of the worker.

As per allegations leveled by other workers of the beverage factory, Pranab was a minor and he was employed without proper documentation.

Speaking about the incident, workers of the factory said, “Pranab met with a freak incident while working inside the factory at around 8 am this morning. But we came to know about it only at around 10 am. We also approached the general manager of the company, but he completely tried to cover up the issue. Moreover, Pranab is a minor boy. He was only 13-years-old. We do not know on what basis the authorities had appointed him. This is not the first time, earlier too many such incidents have occurred which went unreported.”

Meanwhile, the Azara Police has arrived at the incident spot and a case has been registered in this regard.
