A private electrician, identified as Veeru S. (22), died of electrocution while climbing a pole to repair a high-tension power line in Bibipur village.

According to his family members, the electrician's body was burned and stuck to the wire for about an hour and a half after the accident. The body was only removed after firefighters arrived.

According to reports, the victim, a resident of Satnapur village in Ataria, was climbing a pole to repair an 11,000-volt high-tension power line belonging to the Mahmudabad feeder around 7:30 a.m. on Monday.

Bachan Prasad, a retired CRPF deputy commandant who lives near the scene, informed the police and fire brigade about the incident.

By the time help arrived, Veeru was dead. His body remained hanging from the wire for about an hour and a half.

His goose is cooked and then some.

Probably important to get folks like that quickly down from wherever they're frying, lest they maybe set the pole itself alight.

[Necrotic Bowel]

Yes, poke him with a long stick. That always helps

Indian electrician

seemed relatively hairless for an indian, at least the smell prolly wasnt so bad.

I don't know why but the first thing I thought of was Harry Potter & his magic wand. Extreme cosplay.

Man, my son is his age.

He had no chance from the start. I don't see any safety equipment, any tools. And fuck, I mean if he's not already dead- the fall from there would kill him for sure.
Just a total shit show all the way round.

He seems to have repaired it real well, look at all the power flowing into him.

There's no need to be of haste to get him down; He's already dead.
(Then again, short circuiting power these days can be expensive!)
