A marriage function at Baiganwadi area of Govandi turned tragic when a woman died due to electrocution. The deceased, Ajija Khan (51), was the bride Tabasuman Ansari’s aunt.

The incident occurred on Thursday evening at around 4 pm, during Tabasuman’s ‘haldi’ ceremony when Imran Ansari (26), one of Ajija’s nephews, was trying to connect decorative lights with a main switch. While working on the connection, Imran suffered a shock, due to which he fell unconscious. This led to the wire being dropped on Ajija, as she stood beside him. Ajija’s grandson, Atif Ansari (8) was also present at the spot and suffered a minor electric shock.
