A decorator has been booked by Panvel city cops after 11 members of a family were electrocuted by a live wire, during Ganesh Visarjan on Friday.  One person is in the ICU. The incident occurred when a metal rope, which was holding the live wire of a generator, snapped and fell.

“The wire supplying power was faulty. We have booked Jagannath Sumbe, owner of JK Decorators, Panvel. No arrest has been made so far,” said Vijay Kadbane, senior inspector of Panvel City police station.
