Infant dies after electric shock at home in Jagityal district

A 10-month-old girl died after receiving an electric shock at her home in Rajarampalli, Endapalli mandal, Jagtial district, on Friday morning.

The child, Vibhudi Adya, was reportedly playing when she touched an electronic weighing scale that family members had plugged in to charge. Her father, Tirupati, tried to pull her away but also received an electric shock.

The family earns a living by buying and selling second-hand goods, rice and other items. The infant died before she could be taken to hospital in Dharmaram.
