Odisha CID nabs two from Gujarat in Rs 1.08 crore ‘digital arrest’ case
The fraudsters were identified as Vaghela Arvindsinh (24) and Gohli Vishvarajsinh Bharat Sinh (24), both natives of Bhavnagar district in Gujarat.
Yet another mishap in Gujarat’s chemical industry has claimed four lives. They died on Wednesday after inhaling toxic fumes leaked out as soon as they had removed the lid of a drum containing some chemicals.
The deaths in Gujarat’s chemical industry are generally caused by explosions or while cleaning vessels which stored toxic materials. Sudden inhalation of toxic fumes is a new cause of death in a long time.

The owner of the company has been taken into custody while a team of the Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB) is investigating the contents of the drum that produced toxic fumes
