Anupamaa crew member electrocuted on set, dies

Suresh accused the producer and channel of trying to suppress the incident and claimed, “The channel, producer, and production house have been trying to suppress the matter. Wrong news was spread, but such incidents keep happening every time on sets and the workers die whether through an electric shock or due to a set fire. This happens because the production houses and channels don’t provide enough safety precautions to save a few pennies.”

He added, “Wires are unexposed which becomes fatal, but these people see the crew workers as pests. As the president of the All India Cine Workers Association, I request the government authorities to register an FIR against the makers of Anupamaa and the officials at Film City for murder. All the authorities at Film City also know about the negligence on sets, but they never take action. The deceased person’s family should be given Rs 1 crore as compensation and an investigation should be carried out.”

Shockingly, the shooting resumed the very next day, showing a blatant disregard for the loss of life,” he said.
