When container was passed from this place, dish cable implicated between the driver cabin and upper part of the container. At that time driver stopped container under the 11kv Sukhpar Ag line. Meantime a cleaner step down from the truck at their side and touch the lower edge of the container to climb on the container. But container was in contact with the live 11kv wire at its upper edge due to that whole container was live so victim got electrocuted and fallen down. Victim was wear the nonconductive slippers. At the same time there was no any tripping of 11kv Sukhpar Ag and 11kv Visamo Jgy feeder. Where across the road 11kv line distance from ground is 4.5 mtr with earth filling & 5.9 mtr without earth filling.

Feeder are having separate DP but after that i.e. on Talaviya-Sanala road running double circuit on same girder pole. Hence, while doing jumper work of 11 kV Veritas JGY feeder in SS DP, they have taken LC of 11 kV Veritas JGY feeder ONLY and Sarju Ind. Feeder was ON. Meanwhile they are come across the transformer center of Radhe Shopping center and observed that the DO fuses of that TC was extremely thick copper wire.

A tapping line of 11KV Katda Ag Feeder may be Connected with 11KV Dharampur JGY Feeder by the way of illegal taping at the location near the Haamatiya railway station and same time jumper of shackle pole at far end of this section was cut-down. Hence by this way JGY power might be ON in this particular AG section of 11KV katda Ag feeder even though LCP was taken by work supervisor (ALM). Also a private underground cable was found laid between AG connection premises (Consumer’s Name-Shri Ranchhodbhai Kamabhai Mungara) and AG 1Ph-RL connection premises (consumer name –Shri Tarshibhai Kamabhai Patel) and which is presently found in disconnected position from AG consumer end. Which may create possibility of running JGY power from above AG consumer premises to AGRL consumer’s premises to LT line and then step-up through transformer and run in to 11KV line in which victim was doing jumper work on one shackle pole and got electric shock and met with fatal accident. And this is 1ph LT power supply step-up in to HV through transformer. Above 11KV tapping line where maintenance work was undergoing, was shorted and earthed on both sides. JGY power may be run in this taping from load side to S/S side and this JGY power crossed this short-earthed link due to very old earthling. Hence this JGY power partially earthed and partially reached to the accident location where victim was working. After analysis of the MRI report of Panel meter of 11KV Katda AG feeder, it is found that during accident time period power was OFF from 66KV Khengarka S/S as LCP was taken and it is confirmed on Log sheet. After analysis of the MRI report of Energy meter of two AG consumers connected after this accident location and it is found that during accident time period power found ON for some minutes even though LCP was taken so it concludes that JGY power was ON in this section and it may be due to mischief done by above said consumer.

As per site verification and information given by eye witness fatal animal (1 cow) accident occurred at LT line of Depa village. At the pole location no:12, we have observed that LT shackle insulator of phase wire is found cracked. Due to heavy rain, we saw that, LT pole is completely wet and also space nearby PSC pole is also full of rain water. As and when due to broken LT shackle insulator, live phase came in contact with LT line MS angle and that of GI Earthing wire. So, leakage power path flow from phase of LT line passed from shackle insulator to angle of line to wet pole and finally earth through GI earthing wire. At that same time, a cow was passing nearby this LT pole and as nearby space of PSC pole is completely wet and full of water, it came in contact with leakage path of phase. And died due to electrocution.

Street light wire was connected to the LT line of that PSC pole and connections were made to the tube light holder directly without any switch or MCB.

During site visit and statement of owner of the farm, victim climbed on neem tree which is near 11 KV line to cut the tree branches for fuel. Victim was cutting tree branch with axe made from iron having length of 2 feet. While victim was cutting tree branches, one tree branch fallen between two phases of 11 KV Pavthi Ag feeder. Victim might be pulled it from other end and might be got electric shock and electrocuted. At site, one tree branch found with burns at both the end. Reason for accident is suspected: (1) Nobody informed to subdivision office on the day of accident. (2) Looking to the size of tree and distance between 11 KV line and tree, direct contact with conductor is not possible even by holding axe having length of 2 feet. (3) Victim was 50 Years old hence, it might be possible that reason of death is due to fallen from tree. So, said accident could be confirmed after PM report. Now, the report of PM is received by division office Dt. 12.05.2020. As per PM report “The Cause of Death is due to Cardio-Respiratory Arrest due to ventricular fibrillation due to electric Shock” hence it is concluded that this accident occur in network and electrical accident.

Due to heavy wind pressure a Tapping pole of 11 KV Bubavav AG feeder was tilted, so HT wire of this feeder was very near to the Ground at the Earth bank of ‘Talav’, Victim (1) Jayeshbhai Ranchhodbhai Limbadiya was grazing his buffalo nearby his farm. Suddenly buffalo run on the earth bank of ‘Talav’. So victim run behind his buffalo and when victim was passing under the line where this HT wire toward the ground, he comes in the induction zone of this line and electrocuted, his brother Devendrabhai Ranchhodbhai Limbadiya tried to save his brother by direct touching with his naked hand and he also electrocuted.

On dated 30.6.20, heavy rain and heavy lightning stroke occurred at village samadhiayala-1 area. Under 11Kv Dhikwali Ag feeder 63KVA and 25KVA transformer situated at Lathidad road, village –Samadhiyala -1. Area was water logging and wet land around the transformer Centre DP. Due to heavy lightning stroke strikes on the tree near by LT line of 63 KVA TC, tree branches felt on the LT conductor of this LT line emanating from transformer 63KVA and all the four LT conductors broken of the span. Due to this LT conductor broken, fault current passes through the earthing wire.
