A 16-year-old boy named Shaurya Chanpuria tragically lost his life after receiving a severe electric shock at a Ganesh pandal in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh. The incident occurred on Wednesday night at Jasuja City Phase-3 in Dhanwantari Nagar, while Shaurya was returning home after attending a Maha Aarti ceremony. Identified as a Class 11 student from Little World School, Shaurya was reportedly electrocuted when he accidentally touched an electrically charged pole near the pandal.
The mishap took place as Shaurya and his friends were enjoying the festivities after the prayers. As he left the pandal, Shaurya came into contact with a pole supporting the stage, which had become live due to negligence. His friends and onlookers immediately rushed him to Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Medical Hospital; however, he succumbed to his injuries during treatment.
Ajju Ahirwar, one of Shaurya's friends, also received an electric shock while trying to rescue the victim. Friends and family have expressed outrage over the incident, with Shaurya's uncle, Dr Shishir Chanpuria, blaming the lack of proper safety measures for the tragedy. He demanded strict action against those responsible and warned that such negligence could put the lives of devotees visiting religious events at risk.
