50-Year-Old Woman Dies After Being Electrocuted by Fallen Power Line in Bengaluru

A tragic incident occurred in Bengaluru’s Tavarekere area on Monday when a 50-year-old woman, Manjamma, was electrocuted after a live electric wire fell on her while she was walking along the road. Manjamma, a resident of Chikkanahalli in Ramanagara, died instantly from the shock.

At the time of the incident, two others were with Manjamma. One of them attempted to rescue her but was stopped due to the danger of electrocution.

A case has been registered against BESCOM officials, and investigations are underway. Police confirmed to Deccan Herald that the officials have been booked for negligence.

This incident echoes a similar tragedy last year when a 23-year-old woman and her nine-month-old child were electrocuted near Hope Farm in Kadugodi, raising concerns over civic safety in the city.
