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.
