Three brothers died of an electric shock from a water pump motor installed in a deep well in Bara Sandha near Bund Road on Wednesday.
The three brothers were identified as Shahzad Masih, Boora Masih and Noona Masih.
According to the relatives of the deceased, Noona Masih fell into the well accidentally while other two went to rescue him but all were electrocuted.
On the other side, police claimed they were allegedly trying to steal the electric motor from inside the well. An investigation officer stated that Noona along with his accomplices went inside the well to steal the motor where Noona was electrocuted and his fellows fled from the scene and informed his family about the incident. Police added that Noona’s two brothers went to rescue their brother but they also received electric shocks and died on spot. Rescue 1122, on receiving information, rushed to the spot and recovered the bodies from the well and shifted them to mortuary. Meanwhile, DCO Noorul Amin Mengal visited the spot and directed police to investigate the matter. Sandha police received an application for an FIR from the owner of well Nazir Ahmad against the deceased and other unknown thieves for trying to steal the motor.
