BENGALURU: Three months after an eight-year-old boy trying to retrieve a kite from the rooftop of a building sustained electric shocks and died of burns, Viveknagar police have registered a case under IPC sections 304 for culpable homicide not amounting to murder and 304A for causing death due to negligence against officials from Bescom, BBMP and KPTCL, and the building owner.
The boy’s father had alleged the first floor of the building, where his son was electrocuted, was an illegal construction. On June 20, Shishil Singh, second son of Prakash Singh, was flying a kite near his house. It got entangled in a branch and Shishil went to the terrace of a neighbouring house, owned by Anish, to retrieve it.
