A tragic incident, described by locals as a loss of humanity, occurred in Sanata village under Nilagiri NAC today, where a young man, Tapas Das, died after coming into contact with an electric wire illegally set up to prevent flower theft.
According to initial reports, a house owner in the village laid the electrified wire around their garden. Tapas Das, a resident of the same village, was reportedly electrocuted this morning while attempting to pick flowers.
The incident has sparked intense agitation and shock among villagers, who are calling the death a "planned murder" and demanding strict action against the responsible house owner. Police were informed and reached the spot to recover the body, but the owner was reported to be absconding.
