Two brothers electrocuted at poultry farm near Perinthalmanna in Keralam
The police suspect that the power lines had been erected without authorisation to keep wild boars away. An investigation is under way
Two brothers, Sahir Navas, 36, and Mohammed Fasil Murshid, 32, met a tragic end at a poultry farm near Perinthalmanna in Keralam when they were electrocuted on Wednesday, August 26, 2026. The incident occurred at Akkaparamba, Keezhattur, when the brothers, sons of Hamza Pattikkadan, came into contact with live power lines while returning to their vehicles after delivering poultry feed to the farm.
Despite being rushed to a hospital, the brothers could not be saved. The police suspect that the power lines were erected without proper authorization to deter wild boars from entering the farm. An investigation into the matter is currently underway. The bodies were later moved to the Government Medical College Hospital in Manjeri for a postmortem examination on Thursday, August 27.
They will then be temporarily housed at the Munawwarul Islam Madrasa auditorium for the public to pay their respects before being buried at the Juma Masjid cemetery in Vettathur.
