On Monday, a faulty automatic sliding gate at the Integral Coach Factory (ICF) in Chennai collapsed, resulting in the death of an engineer and a constable of the Railway Protection Force (RPF). The deceased were identified as Elakumanan, the RPF constable, and ICF engineer Nakulan. CCTV footage from the premises shows Elakumanan attempting to close the 15-feet tall gate, during which the wheels derailed, causing the gate to fall. Elakumanan along with Nakulan, who was standing nearby, attempted to hold and push the gate back, but unfortunately, the two were crushed under it.

Other security personnel and officials rushed to the spot and managed to lift the gate, but the two had already suffered injuries. The duo was then rushed to the ICF hospital, where Nakulan was declared dead upon arrival. Elakumanan succumbed to his injuries at the hospital. The ICF police have registered a case and investigation into the matter is underway, according to reports.
