31 Oct
Summary
- Two engineering students died from electrocution near a farm.
- The students contacted a live electric fence meant for protection.
- Police are investigating the circumstances of the deaths.
Two engineering students tragically lost their lives on Friday night in Moinabad, Telangana, after electrocution from a live electric fence. Moksha Sai Charan and Yashwanth, both 20, were students at KG Reddy Engineering College.
The incident unfolded when eight college students went to an open area for drinks. Upon noticing an approaching police patrol, they scattered. Charan and Yashwanth unfortunately ran towards a nearby agricultural field and came into contact with an electrified fence.
This fence was reportedly installed with live wires to deter wild animals, specifically wild boars, from damaging crops. The students sustained fatal electric shocks and passed away at the scene.
Local police have initiated a thorough investigation into the incident. Officers are examining how the live electric wires were installed and the precise circumstances that led to the students' fatal encounter with the fence.
