Worker dies in freak accident in CIP director’s bungalow in Ranchi

Ranchi: A casual worker, Birsa Kachhap (32), died on Sunday evening while cutting a tree at the bungalow of the Central Institute of Psychiatry’s director under the Kanke police station limits, police said.

Police said a branch of the tree fell on Birsa, causing grievous injuries to him. They added that he was rushed to the hospital, but he died on the way.
