Ghaziabad (IANS) | Ranju (32) and Bholi (16 months) died tragically due to electrocution in the railing of the house in Lal Kua Mangal Colony of Thana Wave City area. While playing Bholi on the roof of the house, the daughter went to the railing of the house where the railing was already electrocuted. Seeing the girl getting electrocuted, as soon as Ranju tried to save her daughter, she herself got electrocuted. The people of the neighborhood hurriedly admitted both of them to a nearby private hospital, where the doctors declared them brought dead. ACP Ravi Shankar Singh said, the incident took place on Wednesday at around 11 am in Mangal Colony, Shankar Vihar, under Wave City police station area. 32-year-old Ranju, who lives here, was standing on the terrace of the house with her one-year-old daughter. Ranju had a rebar in his hand, which he kept leaning towards the street. The wire of the high tension line was coming out from there. This bar got touched by that wire.

Due to this Ranju got electrocuted. The iron grill on which Ranju was standing also got electrocuted. Ranju’s innocent daughter was holding this grill, she also got electrocuted. Both died on the spot. The people around immediately reached the terrace. From there he was taken to a private hospital, where both were declared brought dead. ACP informed that further necessary action is being taken in this matter.

Ranju’s husband Ramsaroj is originally a resident of Akohli Mubarakpur village under Ghosi police station area in Mau district. He lives on rent in Rinku Yadav’s house in Shankar Vihar near Lalkuan in Ghaziabad and takes care of the family by doing wages. It is learned that at 11 am today Ranju had gone to the terrace to dry the clothes. He dried some clothes on an iron grill. His one year old daughter was standing holding this grill. A rebar was also kept there. It is being told that Ranju tried to keep this bar at another place, at the same time he touched the high tension line. Due to which current landed in Sariya and grill and mother-daughter died.

To prevent such accidents, the Power Corporation has placed plastic pipes above the line from where the line is passing outside the houses. So that if someone touches it, it will not get electrocuted. But in front of Ranju’s house, this pipe was broken at various places and the wire of the high tension line was clearly visible. It may also happen that the plastic pipe itself has melted and broken due to being too old. However, the negligence of the Power Corporation is also clearly visible here.
