Tragic Electrocution Claims Three Lives in Jhansi
A devastating accident occurred Wednesday morning in the Premnagar area of Jhansi, resulting in the electrocution and death of a mother, son, and grandmother.
Incident Details at Family Home
The tragedy took place at the three-story home of Dayashankar Sahu in Azadpura. Due to heavy overnight rain, the third-floor roof became waterlogged because of a clogged drainpipe. To address the issue, 27-year-old Praveen attempted to clear the pipe using an iron rod.
Fatal Contact with High-Tension Wire
According to SSP BBGTS Murthy, the iron rod reportedly touched a high-tension power line passing close to the house. Praveen and his mother, Ranjana, initially came into contact with the live wire. His grandmother, Vimla, was electrocuted when she rushed to rescue them.
Aftermath and Community Mourning
All three victims sustained severe burns and were rushed to the medical college, where doctors pronounced them dead. The heart-wrenching loss has plunged both the family and the neighborhood into deep mourning.
The family, which ran two grocery stores in the area, was reportedly making preparations for Praveen’s wedding at the time of the tragedy.
