A 28-year-old man has died following an incident of electrocution in the Anand Vihar neighborhood of East Delhi. The circumstances surrounding the death have prompted an investigation into local infrastructure, specifically focusing on a streetlight pole near the scene of the incident.

The Delhi Public Works Department (PWD), which maintains the street lighting in the area, has issued a statement regarding the findings of their initial inquiry. According to the department, there is no evidence to suggest that the streetlight pole was leaking electricity or experiencing a fault at the time of the incident. The PWD maintains that their equipment is not responsible for the fatal electrocution, effectively distancing the agency from the cause of the death.

While the PWD has publicly denied fault, the investigation remains ongoing. The incident has raised concerns regarding public safety and the maintenance of urban electrical infrastructure in Delhi, particularly during the monsoon season when such accidents are historically more common. As of now, no alternative cause for the electrocution has been officially confirmed by authorities, and the PWD's stance remains the primary official update on the matter.
