Giving information, my brother Manoj told that he is a resident of Dinanath Colony. Manish (18) was leaving home at around 11.30 am on Sunday. I asked where he was going, he told that he is going somewhere for work, he will come home soon. After about two hours Manish’s companion came home, who told that Manish had drowned in the canal. On getting the information, the relatives immediately reached the spot.
After searching for about one and a half days, his body was found from Binjhol canal on Monday afternoon. Manish’s friends had told that Manish had jumped into the canal from 60 feet high railway overbridge located in Binjhol canal. He was about to jump when suddenly there was a current in the high voltage wires, which pulled Manish towards him. Manish’s arms, legs, stomach, waist and many parts of the body were scorched due to electrocution.
