Gunjal also sustained minor injuries in the incident and is being treated.

An FIR has been registered under section 109(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) at the Tarapur police station, but the police are waiting to get their statements, as both the accused and the injured are not in a condition to give their statements, API Kawle added.

The Nuclear Recycle Board (NRB) is setting up an Integrated Nuclear Recycle Plant (INRP) near BARC facilities in the coastal town of Tarapur, around 130 km north of Mumbai. The project is spread over 80 hectares, and the plant is designed to process spent fuel received from Pressurized Heavy Water Reactors (PHWRs).

As the first large-scale integrated plant in the country, INRP will process spent fuel obtained from Indigenous nuclear power plants and perform leftover atomic waste disposal. The plant is being constructed by a renowned construction company. The TMS territory is heavily guarded by CISF personnel, and all personnel are thoroughly checked during their entry and exit. This incident has raised questions about the security checking at the sensitive establishment of the country.
