Two engineering students tragically lost their lives due to electrocution after touching a live electric fence in Moinabad mandal, located in Telangana’s Rangareddy district, on the night of Friday. The victims have been identified as Moksha Sai Charan, aged 20, from Attapur, and Yashwanth, also aged 20, who resided in Balkampet. Both were enrolled at KG Reddy Engineering College.

Details of the Incident

Initial reports indicate that a group of eight students from the college had gathered in an open area behind Padmavati Function Hall in Peddamangalaram village to consume alcohol. As a police patrol vehicle approached the vicinity, the students reportedly became alarmed and scattered in various directions. In the ensuing chaos, Charan and Yashwanth fled towards a nearby agricultural field.

It was during this flight that they came into contact with an electric fence surrounding the field. This fencing was allegedly equipped with live electric wires designed to deter wild boars from damaging crops. The electric shock they received was severe, resulting in their immediate deaths at the scene.

Following the incident, local police were alerted and promptly arrived at the location. They subsequently transported the bodies of the deceased to the mortuary at Osmania General Hospital for post-mortem examinations. The police have initiated an investigation to ascertain the precise circumstances that led to the tragic deaths of the two students.

Investigation Underway

The police are currently focusing on the installation of the live electric wires around the agricultural field. Authorities aim to determine whether proper safety measures were in place and if the installation adhered to relevant regulations. This investigation will also explore how the students came into contact with the electric fence.

As part of the inquiry, police will interview witnesses and gather evidence to better understand the events leading up to the incident. The investigation seeks to clarify the responsibilities of those who may have installed the electric fencing and whether any negligence contributed to the students’ deaths.

The local community has expressed shock and sorrow over the incident, as it has raised concerns about safety measures in agricultural areas. The deaths of Charan and Yashwanth have sparked discussions about the need for stricter regulations regarding the use of electric fencing in agricultural fields to prevent similar tragedies in the future.

Community Response

The tragic loss of the two young lives has resonated deeply within the local community, prompting calls for increased awareness regarding safety around agricultural practices. Residents have begun to voice their concerns about the potential dangers posed by electric fencing and the need for better safety protocols to protect individuals, especially in areas frequented by students and young people.

In light of this incident, community leaders are urging local authorities to conduct safety audits of agricultural practices in the region. They are advocating for the implementation of educational programmes aimed at informing the public about the risks associated with electric fencing and other hazardous agricultural equipment.

As the investigation continues, the families of the deceased students are mourning their loss, and the community is rallying to support them during this difficult time. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of safety measures in preventing avoidable tragedies in the future.
