The complaint states that Saurabh had told the accused that he did not know how to remove the electrical hook and had never handled such work before. Despite this, he was allegedly instructed to simply hold the wire and shake it so that the hook would fall off.

When Saurabh grabbed the electric wire with his right hand and tried to shake it, he received a severe electric shock. He suffered serious burn injuries to his fingers, chest, and back.

He was immediately taken to Surya Sahyadri Hospital in Kasba Peth, Pune, for treatment. However, doctors declared him dead during treatment.
