In Madhya Pradesh, Chhindwara, seven people were waving saffron flags when they got electrocuted and six died on the spot.
On Sunday, April 10, 2022, a tragedy took place during the Ram Navami procession, organized in Chhindwara city, by the Hindu Utsav Samiti, when a DJ train had come under the railway’s high tension wire and the mishap happened.
A young man was standing on top of the DJ car and was holding a flag in his hand. The flag was fixed to an iron pipe, which touched the mainline of the railway. Six people got electrocuted on the spot and the condition of one youth is said to be critical, admitted to the district hospital for treatment.
The procession was being taken out from the four gate area of the city. On the impact of the bolts of electricity, they were thrown on the streets and their clothes were blown apart.
On the road, people were screaming, terrified on seeing the dead bodies strewn on the streets, while attempts were being made to revive them, and others were shouting out asking for vehicles to take the bodies. There was absolute pandemonium and panic on the streets. The police were present during the sad situation.
The video below shows the incident where they got electrocuted and Rajendra Vishwakarma who shares the video writes, “Filling it as it should – Were waving saffron flag in an iron pipe, the pipe touched the high voltage wire 7 people got scorched on the spot – the family of the seven people will remember a day for the rest of their lives !!”
मध्यप्रदेश छिंदवाड़ा :
जैसी करनी वैसी भरनी – लोहे की पाइप में भगवा झंडा बांधकर लहरा रहे थे , पाइप हाई वोल्टेज तार को छू गई
मौके पर ही 7 लोग झुलस गए – सातों लोगों के परिवार को जिंदगी भर ए दिन याद रहेगा !!
जय सीताराम 🙏🙏 pic.twitter.com/ctYi5R0bHS— Rajendra Vishwakarma🇮🇳🐦 (@RajendraP1974) April 13, 2022
It is gauged that while waving the flags tied to the iron pipe, the movement must have triggered the electrical wire to touch the pipe and in turn shoot up the flags to take their lives. The police are carrying out an investigation.
