A 50-year-old man died after he accidentally came under a JCB machine when the heavy equipment was being used to dig a well in Maharashtra`s Latur district on Saturday, police said.
The freak accident occurred around 3 pm at Nagalgaon village in Udgir tehsil, they said.
A well was being dug in a farm with the help of a JCB machine, owned by victim Madhav Kamble. During the work, Kamble accidentally came under a track, the chain-like wheel of the earthmoving equipment, which crushed the lower part of his body, an official said.
Head constable Gajanan Jagtap, who visited the spot, said Kamble`s body has been sent to the state-owned Udgir General Hospital for post-mortem.
