NEW DELHI: But for a high voltage cable and heavy rain, 10 years old Prashant would have celebrated its eleventh birthday on Saturday. Instead, his family took him home, complaining of his journey from Agra to the capital for a family wedding that took the life of his son.

"As I saw him fall, ran to his aid and found that he had been in contact with a cable hanging from the pole," said 28-year-old Hemraj, cousin Prashant. "I immediately informed the police and the ambulance and taken to hospital.
Prashant was pronounced dead at Bara Hindu Rao Hospital and the medical certificate stated the cause of death as electric shock.Local residents said the electricity department was at fault as several wires hanging complaints have gone unheeded. Hemraj also told police that the absolute apathy had killed his cousin.
