Jaipur: Sanjesh Yadav (30), the driver of a trailer truck coming from Mundra Port and going to Manesar in Haryana is among those who were identified as deceased on Saturday following matching of DNA samples. His relatives, though, were yet to receive confirmation of his death.
Amit Kumar, DCP (west), told TOI late on Saturday evening, “We had taken DNA samples of Sanjesh and also of his brothers. They matched. So, among the unidentified bodies, we have identified one as that of Sanjesh Yadav.”
Earlier, Amarjeet Yadav (28) from Mainpuri in Uttar Pradesh rushed to Jaipur to search for his younger brother, Sanjesh, who was driving the ill-fated trailer used for transporting four-wheelers. Sanjesh was on his way to Manesar after delivering four-wheelers at Mundra port of Gujarat when he became victim of the inferno.
The family after seeing the condition of trailer is very sure that with the magnitude of massive fire they can’t expect Sanjesh is alive, but they awaited official confirmation till 8pm.
Accompanied by his brother Inderjeet and the manager from the Gurgaon transport company where Sanjesh worked as a driver, they located the burnt trailer. On the spot, local witnesses shared a video showing a severely burnt Sanjesh being transported by an ambulance. When they enquired at SMS Hospital, the staff informed them that no patient named Sanjesh was listed among the deceased. Amarjeet and his brother submitted DNA samples, expecting to identify their brother among the unidentified casualties.
TOI reached the mortuary where Amarjeet and his brother Inderjeet were sobbing and waiting for the DNA sample report. They had no hopes of finding their brother injured as they believed he had died and now they wanted his mortal remains.
“I got a call from the transport company at 7am on Friday stating an accident took place near Jaipur. The company manager asked us to reach Jaipur and he promised he too was coming. We went to the spot and could find the truck driven by Sanjesh. The truck was reduced to metal barebones,” said Amarjeet while wiping off his tears.
Inderjeet said, “Some people at the spot showed us at least 20 videos, out of which in one video we could see that my brother was badly charred and was transported in an ambulance to the hospital. Only locals asked us to reach SMS Hospital to find him.”
