New Delhi: <\/b><\/p>\n
A woman today died at the New Delhi railway station after getting electrocuted amid waterlogging due to incessant rains in the national capital since last night.<\/p>\n
Sakshi Ahuja, a resident of Preet Vihar in East Delhi, reached the railway station around 5:30 in the morning along with two women and three children. She held on to an electric pole to avoid puddles when she suffered a massive jolt of power, causing her death.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Onlookers rushed her to a hospital in an attempt to save her life, but she died during treatment, police said.<\/p>\n
The accident occurred near exit number one of the New Delhi railway station, police said in a statement, adding that they found the woman unconscious on reaching the spot.<\/p>\n
“Immediately, they, along with injured Sakshi Ahuja’ sister Madhvi Chopta, took her to LHMC (Lady Hardinge Medical College) hospital where doctor declared her brought dead,” the police said.<\/p>\n
The victim’s sister, Madhvi Chopra, then filed a complaint alleging negligence by concerned authorities, based on which a case was filed, they added.<\/p>\n
Visuals showed naked electric wires at the bottom of the pole, which is suspected to have caused the freak accident.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Railways and the police are probing the incident. A case has been registered, and the police are investigating who is responsible for the negligence.<\/p>\n
“5 cm maximum rainfall was recorded in Delhi today, and rain will continue for the next two days,” Dr Mrutyunjay Mohapatra, Director General, India Meteorological Department, said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
