Sikkim, Feb 15:<\/strong> An employee of the state power department of Sikkim was electrocuted to death at Golitar Singtam in East Sikkim during maintenance work, following which a police case was filed, officials said on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Rajat Singh Kami (30), a lineman of the power department<\/a><\/span>, was electrocuted while working on a transformer at Golitar Highway on Friday night, they said.<\/p>\n

His family blamed the power department for the death, alleging negligence and filed a police complaint.<\/p>\n

On the basis of the complaint, a case has been registered under IPC sections 304<\/strong> (culpable homicide not amounting to murder) and 34 (acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention), a police officer said.<\/p>\n

A thorough investigation is underway, he said.<\/p>\n

A post-mortem was conducted and the last rites were performed on Sunday, he added.<\/p>\n

Singh’s family alleged that no safety measures are taken for the linemen working on high-voltage transformers even as several such cases have been reported.<\/p>\n

“We have filed a police case against the Sikkim power department and its officers who never ensure the safety of the linemen working in dangerous conditions<\/strong>,” a family member said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
