The bodies of Bapu (48) and Manoj (23) were found near a farm well in Kondapet village on Friday morning. They had gone to water their paddy crop on Thursday evening and did not return. Police said they died after touching a live wire while trying to switch on a motor. Family members alerted the police, who registered a case and sent the bodies for post-mortem in Bhupalpally. Investigation is underway.

Recurring electrocution deaths in Telangana’s fields renew questions about electrical safety at farms. This incident may have been accidental, but authorities must check if the motor wiring was faulty or lacked insulation. The district administration should audit all farm electrical installations and enforce safety cut-offs. The post-mortem and police investigation will determine whether negligence played a role.
