Fish cultivator electrocuted in Kachua
Bagerhat Correspondent
Sobhan Molla (47), a fish cultivator of village Bilkul under Kachua Upazila in Bagerhat district and son of one late Jobbar Molla of the same village met his tragic end when he was electrocuted in his own fish farm on Sunday in the afternoon. Locals said that the ill-fated fish cultivator used to connect the fish farm with electricity at night in order to protect the farm from the hands of rats and in the morning he used to disconnect the electricity. But it is the irony of fate that on the day of occurrence the man forgot to disconnect the electricity and as soon as he entered the fish farm he, somehow, touched the live wire of the electricity. As a result, the man was electrocuted. He was rushed to a local clinic where the doctor on duty declared him dead.
