A battery-run rickshaw-puller was electrocuted to death in the capital's Kadamtali Wednesday.

Amir Hossain, 50, was from Shariatpur and lived in Shyampur Bottola. He left behind his wife and five daughters.

Mohammad Ilias, another rickshaw-puller, who took Amir to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH), said he came in contact with a live wire at around 1pm while charging his vehicle, reports UNB.

"Amir was declared dead after being rushed to the emergency unit of DMCH at 2:15pm," Inspector Md Bachchu Mia, in-charge of DMCH Police Outpost, said.

"The body was kept at the hospital morgue for autopsy," Bachchu added.
