22-year-old electrocuted on joyride at fair in Ludhiana

A 22-year-old man allegedly died of electrocution while taking a joyride at a Dussehra fair at GLADA Ground, Chandigarh Road, Ludhiana, late on Wednesday. A few other people who were on the same ride confirmed that they had received a slight electric shock as well.

The incident comes almost a month after a joyride had collapsed in Mohali leaving several people injured and the district administration cracking down on the ways permits for setting up such joyrides during fares were issued.

The victim was identified by the police as Gagandeep Singh, a resident of Mundian Khurd village, who worked as an investment broker.
