The owner of an oil mill in Basdroni in south Kolkata died today after falling into an oil reservoir while trying to rescue another person who fell into it while cleaning it.
Oil mill owner Sanjay Das (46) died when he tried to rescue Rahul Shaw (17) who was reportedly asked by him to clean it, police said.
