The second incident took place in the village of Boundi Shukl within the Hardi police area. On Friday, a 50-year-old woman named Halima returned to her room after bathing, only to find a fan that had fallen to the ground and was live with electricity. As she reached to pick it up, she was severely electrocuted.

Her family rushed her to a nearby community health center, but due to her critical condition, doctors referred her to Bahraich Medical College and Hospital, where she later succumbed to her injuries.
