Bengaluru (The Hawk): In Bengaluru's Nandini Layout, two youngsters who were electrocuted while attempting to capture pigeons sustained severe burn injuries. Their situation is critical, according to the medical professionals.
The boys are currently receiving treatment at Victoria Hospital and are on the verge of passing away.
Chandru and Supreeth, two residents of Vijayanandanagara in Nandini Layout, have been identified as the children.

Their iron track unexpectedly collided with a high tension wire going through the roof while attempting to capture birds. They received an electric shock and suffered severe burns all over their bodies.
The incident caused a short circuit as well as the burning of electronic items in nearby homes. The Victoria Hospital received the youngsters right away.
