Towel swing tied to ceiling fan turns deadly
The victim, identified as Sahasra, had tied a towel to a ceiling fan to use it as a swing during a power cut. However, when the electricity supply was restored, the fan began rotating, causing the towel to tighten around her neck and leading to her death by strangulation.
Parents were away visiting elder daughter
Sahasra was the middle child of Latha and Narsimhulu. While their elder daughter studies at a residential school, Sahasra and her younger brother Ganishwar attend a local school. At the time of the incident, the parents had gone to visit their elder daughter.
