Our days are full of bizarre happenings all around and in one such unfortunate incident, a 21-year-old man lost his life after he accidentally fell into a cauldron of hot rasam. However, the incidents raised eyebrows and speculations over the internet. But, how did the accident happen?

According to the local police, the incident took place in the neighbouring Tiruvallur district of Tamil Nadu. The victim was a final year BCA student at a private college in Korukkupet and was working part-time with a wedding caterer. When the incident took place, it left the guests all stunned.
The victim happened to be a caterer who was serving food to guests at a wedding function last week. Some guests recalled that he was walking past the boiling cauldron of rasam while serving food to them when he slipped and fell into the vessel.

From there, he was shifted to the Kilpauk Medical College Hospital, where he succumbed to severe burn injuries. He died on Sunday without responding to treatment. Now, a case has been registered under Section 174 of the CrPC (unnatural death) and an investigation is underway.

Last year in Madurai, a three-year-old boy, who sustained burn injuries died in a similar way. He accidentally fell into a pot of boiling curry at his home. The accident took place when the boy’s mother S Azhagumeenal removed the hot pot from the stove and kept it aside and moved to do some household chores.
