Bhopal Municipal Corporation (BMC) handling of an electrocution incident near DB Mall has come under scrutiny following the death of Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) district general secretary and lawyer Divyarishi Tiwari. Despite claims that others had received electric shocks at the same spot, no action has been taken against any officials or employees so far.
Local workers reported that the electric pole had been causing shocks for three to four days before Tiwari's fatal incident on Sunday night. Four BMC officials were appointed to investigate the case, and a four-member committee has been tasked with submitting its findings within five days. Lawyers have demanded a negligence case against the responsible officials, with compensation for the family and a government job for a family member. Protesters have warned of a sit-in protest and road blockade if no action is taken within 24 hours.
