Summary:

As soon as Shubham opened the meter to check the reading he got shock and seemed stuck to the meter. It is learnt from sources that this morning, Saturday 22nd, the two were sent to check meter on the farm off Bhusaram Saduji Modhoria, of village Maywadi, near Jalalkheda. The meters are supplied by the MSEDCL and it is their duty to get them checked for billing purpose. This task has been outsourced to a Contractor with whom the two youth, namely Shubham Ganesh Kumeriya, age 22, and Pravin Puran Kumeriya were supposedly working. When the villagers conveyed the news of the mishap to MSEDCL officials they refused to go to the site citing preoccupation with work..
