The minor, who is an orphan, died after accidentally coming in contact with the live wire. He was staying at Milan Mandir with other children.

Meanwhile, the locals alleged that the incident occurred due to a lapse on the part of the NF Railway electric department.

“An electric wire was fallen on the ground for many hours. We have informed the NF Railway electric department but they didn’t come on time and as a result, the minor has lost his life,” alleged a member of Hindu Milan Mandir.
