The incident occurred in Jatrabari's Momenbagh on Saturday after Aklima got tangled in a live power line near their rented shack. The couple were subsequently taken to Sir Salimullah Medical College but they could not survive the electric shock, according to the police. "Aklima went out to bathe in the morning. But she came into contact with an electric wire on the way and let out a scream. Jahangir rushed out rescue but he too was electrocuted in the process," said Robiul Islam, assistant superintendent of DMP's Demra Zone.
