A tragic incident took place on Wednesday morning in Andhra Pradesh’s Kadapa when two students on their way to school came in contact with a live electric wire hanging too low on Agadi Street near the International Welfare Mandapam. 

The students, who were in classes 10 and 8, were on the bicycle to Vidyasagar School when they accidentally touched the high-tension wire. 

As per reports, while one of the students, identified as Tanveer, died on the spot after suffering severe burns, the other was critically injured and was immediately rushed by locals to a nearby private hospital where his condition is said to be critical.
