How The Incident Unfolded
According to eyewitnesses, the incident took place around 3 pm near Gyan Khand Park-1. The victim had just exited the park through an iron gate when he suddenly collapsed into accumulated rainwater.
A transformer is located close to the gate, and residents suspect electricity leaked into the standing water, leading to electrocution. Because an electric current was believed to be flowing through the water, people nearby were unable to approach him immediately.

Video Of The Incident Surfaces
Videos of the incident, including CCTV footage and a clip recorded by bystanders, have surfaced on social media. The CCTV footage purportedly shows the man walking out of the park before collapsing moments later.
After the power supply was disconnected, local residents pulled the man out of the water and rushed him to LYF Hospital in Gyan Khand-1. Doctors at the hospital declared him brought dead.
Police Response
Police said they received information about the incident through the 112 emergency service after the victim was taken to the hospital. Officers from the Abhay Khand police outpost reached the hospital, where family members identified the deceased.
According to police, Bablu was found lying near the transformer in the Gyan Khand Park-1 area. Based on information gathered from local residents, the death appears, prima facie, to have been caused by electrocution.
What Happens Next
Further legal proceedings have been initiated to ascertain the exact circumstances surrounding the incident. The victim's family later reached the hospital and demanded prompt action from the police.
Authorities are investigating whether negligence in maintaining electrical infrastructure or ensuring public safety during the monsoon season contributed to the fatality.
