Girl electrocuted

Staff Reporter

BANGALORE: A 10-year-old girl was electrocuted while playing near a place where Annamma Devi Festival was being celebrated in the Kalasipalyam Police Station limits on Sunday.

The police gave the name of the child as Mumtarin.

She was the second of the four children of Rahamat Ullah, an autorickshaw driver and resident of Ranaji Rao Lane, Kalasipalyam. She was studying in fourth standard.

A makeshift shed using metal sheets had been put up for conducting the festival, the police said.

A live electric wire came in contact with the sheets and the girl, who was playing around, touched the sheet unknowingly and was electrocuted, the police said.

She was declared "brought dead" at a hospital.

Kalasipalyam Police have registered a case.
