Saharanpur (UP): A 28-year-old man died of electrocution during a procession here, police said on Friday.
The incident occurred near Gandhi Chowk in Vardhaman Colony on Thursday night when a 'shobha yatra' was taken out during the ongoing 'Gughal' Fair, Superintendent of Police (SP) (city) Abhimanyu Manglik said.
Bhanu Verma was holding a stick that came in contact with a high-tension power line and he suffered severe burn injuries, Manglik said.
Verma was taken to a hospital where doctors declared him dead, he said.
The victim's body has been handed over to his family as they did not want further legal action, he added.
