A security guard was electrocuted at an under-construction building at Doddathoguru village near Electronic City, South Bengaluru.

Kumar’s wife Nita Kumar has filed a complaint about the incident with Electronic City police. Accordingly, police have booked the building owners Dattatreya and Srikanth and electrical contractor Narayana Reddy for causing death by negligence.
