The deceased, identified as Lalitha Bondre, died on Thursday night.
Raghu Bondre, a resident of Nitte Parappadi, had passed away recently. His sister, Lalitha, had come to assist in the preparations for his memorial service. On Thursday night, while washing cooking utensils, she accidentally touched an iron pole supporting a tent outside the house. She received an electric shock, collapsed, and died instantly.
