Rohmingthanga (47) was sucked inside a pipe while cleaning a water tank last night and died there, the sources said.
Volunteers took a long time to take out the body of Rohmingthanga as he was firmly stuck inside the pipe used for Aizawl water supply.
His body was found by some people this morning.
