Two electrocuted in Chandpur
Two persons died after being electrocuted in a tin-shed house named Dhali house in Paschim Jafrabad village of Ward No. 2 in Puran Bazar area under Chandpur Paurasabha today.
The deceased was identified as Md. Montu Dhali, 70, son of late Abdul Dhali, a resident of that house and Md. Anwar Hossain Khan, 55, son of Amin Khan from the nearby Khan house.
Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Chandpur Sadar Model Police Station Md. Bahar Mia confirmed the matter.
It's believed that the entire house became electrified due to an earthing problem, according to family members.
Anwar Hossain Khan was electrocuted as he touched the wall of a tin-shed house while leaving it after discussing a new family relation. At the same time, Montu Dhali was electrocuted while attempting to rescue Anwar, the sources said.
Both were rushed to Chandpur Government General Hospital. But they had died before being brought to the hospital, reports BSS.
Following the requests from family members to the Additional District Magistrate (ADM), the bodies were handed over to their respective families, the OC added.
