The tragic incident unfolded in the Tejaji Nagar police station area on Saturday when a house owner Sumit Nema was trying to establish a temporary electricity connection at his under-construction house on Saturday for his watchman who stays across the road.
According to investigating officer, SI AR Khan the deceased was identified as Ravi Sanwle, a resident of Limbodi. He was a labourer and was going for work. At that time, the owner of the under-construction house, Sumit Nema threw an electric wire across the road.
