22-Year-Old Man Dies of Electrocution Near Transformer in Ghaziabad Amid Monsoon WaterloggingPreviousNext

A 22-year-old man named Bablu, also known as Narendra Kachi from Madhya Pradesh, died after allegedly being electrocuted near an electrical transformer in Ghaziabad's Indirapuram area during heavy monsoon rains. The incident occurred around 3 pm near Gyan Khand Park-1, where waterlogging reportedly caused electricity to leak into the water. Locals were initially unable to assist due to the suspected electric current. After power was cut, he was taken to LYF Hospital but was declared dead on arrival. Police have initiated an investigation.
