The fatal incident happened on August 21 when Danish was standing close to the edge of an open vat containing boiling jaggery.
A video from the factory shows him appearing to become dizzy before suddenly losing his balance and falling into the extremely hot liquid.
His colleagues immediately rushed towards him and could be heard shouting for help as they tried to rescue him.
According to reports, Danish remained trapped inside the vat for nearly a minute before his colleagues were able to pull him out.
He was reportedly in severe pain and crying out as those around him called for water and tried to assist him.
Danish was then rushed to a hospital for emergency treatment.
Despite efforts by medical workers to save him, he later died from the injuries he suffered in the accident.
He Leaves Behind Wife and Two-Month-Old Son
Danish had reportedly been married for two years and was a father to a two-month-old son.
His death has left behind his wife, young child, parents, elder brother and sister.
He had travelled to Maharashtra with other workers in search of employment and had spent several months working at the jaggery plant before the fatal accident.
Jaggery is a traditional unrefined sugar made by boiling and solidifying juice extracted from sugarcane or palm plants.
