Boina Ganesh (42), a resident of Guvvalegi in Doulthabad mandal of Siddipet, had 2 acres of land on which he cultivated paddy and maize. He came to his field early morning on Sunday to irrigate the field and found there was a disruption of power supply to his bore-well. While trying to correct it at the transformer, he came in touch with live electric wires and died on the spot.
