Three sisters die of electric shock from cooler in Rajasthan

Three sisters, including a one-year-old child, died after allegedly suffering an electric shock from a cooler at their home in Baran district of Rajasthan on Saturday. 

The incident occurred while their parents were away working as farm labourers. The girls were alone at home while their family members had gone to work as farm labourers. 

The deceased have been identified as 7-year-old Saloni, 3-year-old Avantika and 1-year-old Sandhya.

According to preliminary information, the girls came into contact with an electrically charged cooler at the house where the family was living. The family



members had reportedly gone to work in the fields, leaving the three children at home.

According to Sadar police station officer Naval Kishore Meena, the girls’ father, Madanlal Sahariya, is a resident of Karnavta village under Sirsi police station in Madhya Pradesh’s Guna district. He works as a farm labourer for a farmer in Fatehpur and was living on the farm with his family.

The exact sequence of events is still being investigated, police said, adding that preliminary information suggests that an electrical fault in the cooler may have caused the accident, resulting in the girls coming into contact with the appliance.
