Three people, including a grandmother and her grandson, died after being electrocuted in Kashiani upazila of Gopalganj on Saturday night. The incident occurred around 8:30 p.m. in Tentulia village under Rajpat Union. The deceased were identified as Rahela Begum, 50, her grandson Saifan Sikdar, 8, and their neighbor Iran Sikdar, 55.
According to Assistant Superintendent of Police Mir Sajedur Rahman of the Muksudpur-Kashiani Circle, an electric fence had been set up near Sajib Sikdar’s house to protect boro paddy seedlings from rats. A leakage in the wire caused Saifan to be electrocuted first. When his grandmother Rahela Begum rushed to save him, she was also electrocuted and died instantly. Neighbor Iran Sikdar was similarly electrocuted while trying to rescue them. Saifan was taken to the upazila health complex, where doctors declared him dead.
Police from Kashiani station visited the scene and prepared an inquest report on the bodies.
