DCFD
had ordered a dish/cable TV operator/supplier
of Haralahalli village, Bescom Davangere
superintending engineer (Elect), Bescom
Harihara executive engineer and Honnalli
town assistant executive engineer to pay
up to Rs 200,000 as compensation to HM Manjunath,
the complainant.
Manjunath
had filed a complaint with DCFD against
Bescom and the cable operator for the death
of his son Dhanajaya,
who was electrocuted while trying to fix
a cable wire to a television set and died
on the way to hospital.
Manjunath
alleged that the cable wire was drawn along
with an electric wire and the current passed
through the cable wire, leading to his son’s
death.
DCFD
had earlier ruled that Bescom had allowed
the cable operator to draw the cable wire
through the electric pole along with the
electric wire illegally and that Bescom,
being an authority, was required to provide
safety measures to consumers and should
not have allowed this illegal act.
