Bihar Tragedy: 4-Year-Old Boy Dies After Touching Fallen Live Wire
A tragic accident in Aurangabad, Bihar, claims the life of a four-year-old boy after he touched a fallen live LT wire while playing.
A heartbreaking incident has shaken Parsa Jain village in Bihar's Aurangabad district, where a four-year-old boy lost his life after coming into contact with a fallen live LT wire. The child, identified as Satyam Kumar, was playing with his friends outside his home on Sunday morning when the fatal accident occurred.
A Moment of Play Turns Fatal
Satyam, the son of auto-driver Chandan Vishwakarma, was spending his morning playing with other children in the vicinity of his house. According to family members, an LT wire had snapped and fallen to the ground. Unaware of the danger, the young boy stepped into contact with the live wire, leading to immediate electrocution.
Family members who witnessed the horror managed to rush to his aid and separate the child from the electrified wire. In a desperate attempt to save him, they first hurried Satyam to a nearby private clinic for emergency treatment.
The Struggle for Life
Despite the initial efforts at the private clinic, Satyam's condition remained critical. He was urgently referred to the Sadar Hospital for advanced medical care. However, the tragedy was sealed upon his arrival at the facility, where doctors declared the four-year-old dead.
The hospital staff promptly informed the Nagarnagar police station. Following the notification, police took custody of the body and conducted the necessary post-mortem formalities before handing the remains back to the grieving family.
A Family Shattered
The death has left the village of Parsa Jain in deep mourning. Satyam was the younger of two siblings, leaving behind his five-year-old brother, Shivam. His mother, Gudiya Devi, and the rest of the family are reportedly devastated by the sudden loss of the child.
Demands for Justice and Compensation
In the wake of the tragedy, the family has appealed to the district administration for financial assistance. They are demanding compensation under the disaster relief funds to help them cope with the loss, especially given their precarious financial situation.
Upendra Kumar, representing the Mukhiya of Bairiya Panchayat, expressed his profound sorrow over the incident. Highlighting the impoverished state of the family, he joined the call for the administration to provide immediate financial aid to the bereaved parents.
Official Investigation
