Five-year-old electrocuted, two friends injured at south Delhi park
New Delhi: A five-year-old boy was electrocuted and two other children were injured after they came in contact with the iron railing of a public park in south Delhi’s Khanpur which was in touch with a live wire, police and electricity department officials said. The park is reportedly managed by the south municipal corporation of Delhi (SDMC).
The incident happened on Wednesday with the electricity department officials claiming that the loose wire was used by someone in the neighbourhood to illegally draw power from an electric pole.
The incident comes weeks after three minor girls and two adults, who tried to save them, were electrocuted by a loose electric wire at a grocery shop in Ghaziabad’s Rakesh Marg on September 1.
