NDTV
The family members said Murmu anxiously kept waiting for information regarding his son's rescue.
A 70-year-old Jharkhand man "died of anxiety" a few hours before his son was evacuated along with 40 other workers trapped in the under-construction Silkyara tunnel in Uttarakhand on Tuesday night, his family said.
Baset alias Barsa Murmu was anxious for his son, 28-year-old Bhaktu, since he heard about the collapse of the tunnel on November 12, his family members said on Wednesday.
Murmu, a resident of Bahda village in East Singhbhum district, died at around 8 am on Tuesday when he was sitting on his cot, around 12 hours before Baktu was able to see light at the end of the tunnel.
