On Wednesday afternoon at 3 o’clock, 17-year-old Ujaif and 14-year-old Sufiyan went to catch pigeons sitting on the basement wall. Due to the submersible installed in the basement, current reached the water. When both the brothers entered the water, they got hit by the electric current.
Both the brothers were taken out by cutting the electric wire

Case against the building owner
Inspector Sanjeev Kumar said that on the complaint of father Naushad Qureshi, a case has been registered against the building owner Waqar, Bhuttu and Saud. The building under construction in whose basement this incident took place was mortgaged by Punjab National Bank five years ago after the owner of the building failed to repay the loan taken.
Bank manager Archana says that she is not aware of the mortgaged property. This is a matter from before her tenure. Information can be given only after checking the documents.
