The show ended in a fiasco. Illinois-based CEO Sanjay Shah, 56, died of his injuries in the hospital. The company's president Vishwanath Raju Datla (52) is fighting for his life.
Before the cage was on its way down, a wire cable broke like that Times of India reported. The iron cage tipped onto its side. Shah fell four meters down. The video shows one of the men flipping over and hitting the ground head first. At the same time, fireworks fountains burn on the stage and loud music is played.
Cage falls four meters – police are investigating
The cage had iron wires on both sides. It also says there are bars on three sides and an opening through which the two men entered. A rolling machine was pulling the cage when the rope broke. Then the device crashed at great speed. The police are investigating the incident and the faulty cage, although the broken wire is considered the most likely cause of the crash. The accident occurred last Thursday (January 18) at the famous Ramoji Film City (RCF) in a tourist area in a major Indian film studio complex.
The company's employees were supposed to celebrate here for two days. The late Indian managing director Shah founded Vistex in 1999. The company has 20 offices worldwide and employs almost 1,600 people. Loud Times of India earned it around 300 million dollars. His customers include Coca Cola, GE, Dell and Siemens.
