Muscat: An Indian electrician has died from electrocution in Sinaw, an official from the company where the victim was working said.
Visakh Mohan, the 24-year-old victim, was working with the company in Ibra since 2015 March.
“It was an accident. Even though he had safety gear, he didn't use it. He accidentally came in contact with a live wire while at work on an electric post,” Udayahcandran Nair, the company supervisor and his relative, said.
Visakh’s body is kept in Sinaw hospital mortuary.
“We are now coordinating with local authorities and embassy officials to repatriate his body,” the official said.
The accident happened on Friday.
Visakh hails from the south Indian state of Kerala and was a bachelor. Both his parents passed away last year.
