Three Injured in Separate Electrocution Incidents in Narsinghpur
Three people, including a 14-year-old boy, were injured in separate electrocution accidents in Madhya Pradesh's Narsinghpur district.
Tragedy struck Narsinghpur district in Madhya Pradesh as two separate electrocution accidents left three people injured, including a young teenager. The incidents, occurring in different parts of the district, have sent shockwaves through local communities and prompted police investigations.
Workers Hit by Live Wire During Cable Laying
The first accident occurred in Lokipar village, involving two workers who were performing duties for a contractor. Sevaram Dhurve and Mastram Uike, both residents of Rohiya Pati village under the Mungwani police station area, were in the process of laying cables when disaster struck.
While working, the men came into contact with a live electric wire, resulting in immediate electrocution. Local villagers acted quickly to assist the victims, utilizing the Dial-112 emergency service to transport both men to the district hospital for urgent medical attention.
The severity of the injuries has caused significant concern for the medical team. While one man remains under observation at the Narsinghpur district hospital, the other suffered extensive burns so severe that doctors had to refer him to a hospital in Jabalpur for specialized treatment. The Mungwani police have launched an investigation to determine how the workers came into contact with the live wire.
Teenager Electrocuted at Home
In a separate and equally distressing incident, a 14-year-old boy was injured by electricity within his own residence. The boy, identified as Shivansh, was electrocuted at his home in Khamtra village, which falls under the jurisdiction of the Stationganj police station.
Following the accident, his family members rushed him to the district hospital, where medical professionals began providing necessary treatment. The hospital authorities have since notified the local police regarding the incident.
Authorities in the Stationganj area have initiated an inquiry to establish the exact cause of the domestic accident and to understand how the electrical mishap occurred inside the home.
