A 36-year-old man was killed after being electrocuted in Indirapuram's Shipra Sun City. The incident happened on Thursday when Saroj Kan Das was coming back home after dropping his daughter to school and he came in contact with water touching a naked wire. According to locals, the electricity was cut off 30 minutes after the incident. Das was declared brought dead on arrival by a nearby private hospital.

In another incident, a 13-year-old girl was crushed under the debris of her house as the rooftop water tanker crashed through the house.
