The man, identified by local media as Rajesh Maruti Maru, had escorted his sister’s elderly mother-in-law to Mumbai’s BYL Nair Municipal Hospital when he suddenly got trapped in the machine while holding an oxygen tank, the Indian Express reported.
“Magnetic force of the machine sucked him in. We are not sure how he went so close. An inquiry is on,” Dr. Ramesh Bharmal said.
Staffers, according to the report, claimed that the knob on the oxygen tank broke open when Maru was sucked into the chamber Saturday, causing the tank to leak.
According to an NDTV report, Maru’s family says the man was holding the oxygen tank for his sister’s mother-in-law, who was scheduled to undergo an MRI scan — and a staffer had asked Maru to take the tank inside the MRI room.

Relatives said  Rajesh Maru’s death after getting sucked into MRI machine on Sunday was due to negligence of Hospital staff at  Nair Hospital

The family claims the staffer said the machine was switched off, but it was actually turned on. During an MRI exam, it is crucial that all metallic items are removed before entering the exam room.
Holding up Mar’s picture, outside Nair Hospital on Sunday, his brother-in-law Harish Solanki, said Maru, 32, died after getting sucked into MRI machine on Sunday due to negligence of Hospital staff.
“As soon as Rajesh entered with the cylinder, it turned out that the machine was on,” Maru’s relative, Harish Solanki, told NDTV.
Maru’s hand got stuck in the machine along with the oxygen tank.
Solanki and hospital staffers rushed to pull Maru’s bleeding body out of the machine before he was rushed to an emergency ward, where he died 10 minutes later, according to reports.
“It’s because of their carelessness that Rajesh died,” Solanki said.
Although, Solanki and some hospital orderlies managed to pull Maru out of the machine almost immediately, his body was reportedly swollen and he was bleeding heavily. He was rushed to the emergency ward where he died within 10 minutes of the incident.
A postmortem report indicated that Maru died as a result of pneumothorax, or a collapsed lung.
Police arrested some hospital staff, including a doctor Siddhant Shah and Vitthal Chavan, the staffer who allowed Maru to enter the MRI room with the oxygen tank.
Dr Siddhant Shah, as  weel as teo other hospital emplostaffers Vitthal Chavan and Sunita Surve are likely facing charges of causing death by negligence, according to police
