The family, consisting of the deceased man, his wife, and his mother, were trying to secure their home when the power went out. As the storm raged on, the family huddled together, waiting for the electricity to return. However, the situation took a deadly turn when the television cable wire, which was still live, came into contact with the family’s bodies.

The Investigation

The police also found that the wire had been damaged in a previous storm, but it was not repaired or replaced.

The incident had a devastating impact on the family and the community. The deceased man’s wife and mother were left to grieve the loss of their loved one, and the community was left to wonder how such a tragedy could have occurred.

The villagers were informed about the potential risks of electrical short circuits and the importance of regular maintenance of electrical connections.

Electrical Safety in Rural Villages

The Importance of Regular Maintenance

In rural villages, where access to electricity is limited, the risk of electrical accidents is high. Electrical short circuits can occur due to various reasons such as worn-out or damaged cables, loose connections, and poor maintenance. The consequences of such accidents can be severe, including fires, injuries, and even fatalities.
