Man, 65, Electrocuted Near Balcony While Spitting Gutkha in Madhya Pradesh

Vidisha (MP), October 25: A 65-year-old man, identified as Prabhu Lal Gupta, died after coming into contact with an 11,000-volt high-tension electricity line while reportedly attempting to spit gutkha from the third-floor balcony of his rented residence in Ganj Basoda, Madhya Pradesh.

The incident occurred on Friday, October 23, in Gayatri Nagar, Ward 6. Gupta reportedly suffered severe electrical burns.

The tragedy has sparked anger among residents, who allege that repeated requests to relocate dangerously positioned power lines near residential buildings had gone unanswered.

Local councillor Manish Vishwakarma has demanded an inspection of overhead electricity lines and immediate safety measures to prevent further fatalities.
