A 45-year-old construction worker, Rajkumar, died of electrocution, while his co-worker was injured when a bamboo came in contact with a high-tension electricity line in Delhi's Kapashera.

Both workers were carrying out construction work in a multi-storeyed building in southwest Delhi's Kapashera on Thursday afternoon, police said.

According to the police, they were shifted to the hospital, where Rajkumar succumbed to his injury.

"During the work, Jhulan (on the first floor) picked up a wooden bamboo to hand it over to Rajkumar (on the second floor). The bamboo came in contact with a high-tension electricity line, resulting in both sustaining electric shock injuries," police said.

Jhulan is still under treatment.

The police have registered a case, launching an investigation into the case. (ANI)
