Mr Tiwari,
Please check with the organisation concerned.
There must be some insurance policy/coverage for employees not falling under Employees Compensation Act.
Government has offered some compensation any way.
Off course I do realise that money cannot compensate the loss of a life.

asbhat sir, but according to other people he will not be compensated as workmen compensation act due to nature of work. he was at managerial position having basic salary of 52000.
