A district court in Karachi on Friday order nominate the chief executive officer (CEO) of K-Electric in a in electrocution-related death case.
As per the order obtained by , the company’s distribution head Amir, senior security officer Fahim, and assistant manager Owais along with the CEO Moonis Abdullah Alvi will be nominated as co-accused.
A police report of the man’s accidental death, which occurred on August 11 at a K-Electric substation, was presented before the Judicial Magistrate West.
The report said that case had been registered based on a misunderstanding. The deceased had ‘unknowingly entered K-Electric’s substation’; therefore, the complainant does not want any action against the company.
The court, however, rejected the police report and ordered its conversion into a challan, saying that the accident might have happened due to the deceased’s own mistake, but a life has been lost nonetheless.
