Allegedly, when Kisk fell into the mixer, Durai employed an excavator to dispose of the body in the waste pit.
Subsequently, Durai purportedly utilized slurry waste from the plant to cover Kisk’s remains in the pit, although the body was located two days later.
Authorities revealed that Durai, who also worked as an electrical operator at the plant, had tampered with the establishment’s CCTV system.
The accused was presented before a local court, which remanded him to judicial custody.
