Father, son electrocuted in Hooghly dist
Hooghly: A 65-year-old man and his 29-year-old son were electrocuted at Kazi Para in Hooghly’s Baidyabati on Sunday morning.
The tragedy occurred when Rahaman Ali was electrocuted while trying to spread his clothes on a metal wire after taking a shower. His father Pir Mohammed, who was bathing in the open, rushed to save Ali but got electrocuted after touching him.
Residents rushed to the spot on hearing the wails of the women in the family, switched off the meter and took the duo to Chandannagore sub-divisional hospital, where they were declared brought dead.
“The bodies have been sent for post mortem,” Chandannagore police commissioner Humayun Kabir said.
“Today was Nabi Diwas. Pir Mohammed and his son were planning to join the rally. Such an incident on this auspicious day is really shocking,” a resident said.
