Thane: A 13-year-old boy suffered a severe electric shock after coming in contact with a high-tension electricity cable at Badlapur in Maharashtra’s Thane district, and was hospitalised, police said on Saturday.

The incident occurred on September 11, they said.

“The boy came in contact with a live wire above the shed at an event venue. He suffered a severe shock and burn injuries on his back, abdomen, legs and other parts. He was rushed to a local hospital, and is currently undergoing treatment in the intensive care unit (ICU),” an official said.
