Two men were electrocuted when they were trying to replace damaged tin sheets on the roof of a shed in Sulga village in Belagavi district on Monday.
A 60-year-old auto driver from Benakanahalli Vilas Gopal Agasgekar and 25-year-old Vinayak Krishna Kalkaamkar of Sulga were trying to repair the roof by changing some sheets.
The sheet came in contact with a live wire and they received electric shock and were electrocuted. They died on the spot.
It may be recalled that volunteers of a helpline emergency rescue foundation had saved the life of Vilas Agasgekar when he was suffering from COVID-19 last year.
