Mysore/Mysuru: Mohammed, the owner of the scrap shop where the incident occurred, had purchased old machinery, chlorine cylinders and other equipment in an auction from the water purification unit of Davangere City Corporation three months ago. He had stored them in the shed of his shop, which were then taken out for crushing at about 6 pm. Prior to crushing the cylinders, the valves were opened, leading to the leak of left over gas, confirmed City Police Commissioner B. Ramesh.
