In a video, now viral on social media, a man was seen electrocuted when the long bamboo stick he was walking with touched an overhead high-voltage electricity wire passing over his relative’s house in Uttar Pradesh’s Mahoba on Tuesday afternoon.
In the video, the deceased identified as 35-year-old Devendra, a resident of Chandon village, can be seen walking inside the house in the presence of his relatives carrying the bamboo stick when it touched the high voltage wire.

As per reports, Devendra had come to Jasoda Nagar to attend a religious program of his cousin Suvendra Singh. At the time of the incident, his family members were preparing to go to the temple. While some were making prasad, others were preparing to perform rituals at the temple. Amid these ongoing activities, Devendra brought a bamboo stick to tie a flag on top of it as part of the ritual and got electrocuted.
As per his family members, due to recent rains in the area, the bamboo stick was wet and thus it got electrified.
Soon after the incident, family members rushed to assist Devendra by massaging his hands and feet and rushed him to the district hospital where the doctors declared him dead.
Devendra’s relatives have stated that they had complained about the high-voltage electricity wire passing above their house but the authority did not take any action. The family members say that if the department had taken action, their beloved Devendra would have been alive.
