It is said that due to rain water being filled in the basement, electric current was flowing due to the electric wire touching the bars erected for the pillars. As soon as they got into the water, both the children got badly burnt due to electrocution. According to the police, today afternoon, 12-year-old Sufiyan had gone down to the ground floor i.e. basement of a semi-constructed house in his locality, which was filled with two-three feet of water and there was electric current in the water.
