Imphal, November 10 2008:
A 45 year old man was electrocuted at Makhel Khunou, about 30 kms south of Mao police station when he accidentally came into contact with a live High Tension wire.
Kh Komuo son of Khole of Makhel Khunou went to paddy fields yesterday morning but he did not return.
As the local people went in search of him this morning, he was found dead apparently due to electrocution.
Mao Police have retrieved the corpse after shutting down the current on the HT line, informed a police source.
As the police personnel mooted about post mortem examination, the local people raised a ruckus saying that post mortem may be conducted only after the arrival of Power Department officials.
However, there was no untoward incident.
