A 13-year-old boy died on Wednesday after he came in contact with a high-tension wire while flying a kite in Bengaluru’s RT Nagar earlier this week, the police said.
The police identified the boy Abubakar, a resident of HMT Layout in RT Nagar, and said that the incident took place on Monday afternoon, around 2 pm, when Abubakar had gone to fly a kite with his friend at Vishveshwaraiah Park in HMT Layout.
When the kite got stuck on a high-tension wire, Abubakar reached the first floor of a residential building adjoining the park and tried to take it. He came in contact with the wire, which was less than 1 feet from the building where Abubakar stood, the police said.
