According to Delhi Police, a Police Control Room (PCR), a call was received at Police Station RK Puram at 04:29 hours. The caller, Sunil, owner of a dhaba in an MCD kiosk on Vivekanand Marg, reported that his two employees died due to electrocution.
According to the report, deceased Ravinder (30) and Bharat (25) were sleeping outside the kiosk when the incident occurred. The fallen tree damaged an electric wire leading a live current flow near the premises, which resulted in the tragic deaths of the two employees and a street dog.
Eye witness Shrawan told ANI, “We were sleeping at 4 AM when the owner (of Dhaba) came running and informed us that the employees had passed away. We called the police station. There was waterlogging in the morning. Two men and a dog passed away… Everyone sleeps here…”
Surjan Singh said, “First there were gusty winds, then it started raining, so the boys came and slept under the shelter. As the tree fell, four men ran. Two men who ran in one direction…there was current. There was waterlogging. We called the police.”
The national capital witnessed heavy rains overnight on Saturday. Last night, a mobile tower in the Safdarjung Enclave fell. However, there were no injuries reported from the incident.
