The doctors attending upon the victim had found that one of his arm was totally rendered paralyzed while the other arm was also motionless.
The doctors had advised to get this arm amputated to save the life of Tilak.
The PDD officials who own great influence for being close associate of the minister in the BJP turned nelson's eye towards the accident and said that it due to fall that Tilak got paralyzed as electricity was not running in the wire.
It is alleged that immediately after the accident; the PDD officials swung into action and disconnected the power supply to save their skin.
While the police and doctors attending upon the victim said that the boy had received grievous injury due to electric shock, but the PDD officials denied this fact.
Meanwhile, in the new development, the PDD officials, knowing that Tilak's arm had to be amputated, they embarked upon a conspiracy to save the department's skin.
" The PDD officials in which the Line man, meter reader, Junior engineer and Assistant executive engineer were involved , they took the scraps of the hair and skin remains of Tilak left gelled with the 33 kv wire and pasted it on a nearby electric pole to establish that Tilak had tried to climb the pole and got electric shock," said one of the source in the PDD department.
He said that PDD officials have tried all to hush up all evidences that could lead to the accident attached to the live wire and instead have tried to establish it as Tilak's fault. The residents of the area in the mean time have called for a forensic test to get into the actual incident.
" we want that the finger prints experts as well as forensic team should investigate the real incidence as to whether Tilak climbed the pole or got in contact with the fallen live wire," said the residents of the area.
The villagers have demanded Rs 10 lacs compensation from the PDD and urged upon the deputy chief Minister Nirmal Singh to personally look into the matter and provide justice to his people of Jammu. |
