Unaware of the supply of the power, his son Pavan Kumar (18), a daily wage labourer, died when he ventured to save his father from being electrocuted.

Police suspected that electricity passed through the iron wire due to faulty connection of an air cooler. Based on a complaint received from the wife of Rajender, a case was registered.
