According to information, the victim, identified as Machal Singh Gond was repairing electrical wires scattered near his home. As he was electrocuted, the villagers had no option but to carry him on foot through narrow pathways to seek medical help.
Despite their efforts, Gond, in critical condition, struggled for life while being transported. Due to the poor road conditions, an ambulance could not reach the village, further delaying critical care. The villagers first took him to Shahpura’s government hospital and then to the Medical College Hospital.
