A tragic incident occurred on Thursday in Jadopur Bagaha village, under the Jadopur police station area of Gopalganj, where a father and son were severely electrocuted. The accident took place when 55-year-old Ramprit Sah was plugging in a table fan at his home. Due to a damaged wire in the plug, a sudden electric current flowed through, and Ramprit came into contact with it.

According to reports, as Ramprit Sah attempted to connect the table fan's plug to the power board, the faulty wire caused a powerful electric shock, and he became stuck to the live wire. Hearing his screams, his son, Rajan Kumar, rushed to the scene. Seeing his father caught by the current, Rajan tried to rescue him. However, without first switching off the main power supply, Rajan also came into contact with the electricity and was severely electrocuted.

The cries of the father and son attracted nearby villagers, who quickly arrived at the spot. The villagers immediately cut off the main electricity supply to the house and separated both individuals from the electric contact. Following the incident, locals promptly transported the injured pair to Gopalganj Sadar Hospital in a private vehicle. Both have been admitted to the emergency ward, where they are currently receiving treatment under the supervision of doctors. Relatives and local residents stated that the accident was caused by a frayed wire in the table fan's plug. The incident created a chaotic atmosphere in the village for some time.
