A laborer was electrocuted at a construction site in Belagavi

A 35-year-old construction worker died on Wednesday after coming in contact with a live wire at Mudalagi in Belagavi district.

He accidentally touched an electrical wire passing through a metal plate.

The other six workers who were part of his team escaped unharmed because they were at a distance.
