Due to poor financial conditions at home, Sukumar had migrated to Madurai in Tamil Nadu to work as a dadan laborer. He had been working for a contractor there for a long time, engaged in slab centering work.
According to available reports, on Monday, while Sukumar was trying to board a bus in Madurai, he slipped and fell. At that moment, a speeding tipper truck ran over him, causing severe injuries. Locals rescued Sukumar and rushed him to a nearby medical facility. However, doctors declared him dead upon arrival.
News of his death spread grief throughout his village. A fellow laborer working around 100 km away from Madurai reached the spot and brought Sukumar’s body back to Sukigaon by ambulance. Amid an atmosphere of deep sorrow, his last rites were performed in the village.
