A 20-year-old labourer died of electrocution, while clearing the debris of a mobile tower that collapsed a few days ago, on Laggere Main Road in Nandini Layout on Sunday.
The deceased was identified as Jatin Kumar. He was part of a crane operator team to help remove the debris. The crane removing the debris came in contact with a live electricity wire and Jatin collapsed on the ground while others suffered a jolt and were thrown away from the crane. They escaped with minor injuries.
The severely injured Jatin was rushed to hospital where he was declared dead.
