NEW DELHI: Days after the death of three UPSC aspirants in central Delhi’s Old Rajinder Nagar area, another female student, preparing to appear for the UPSC exam was reportedly electrocuted while she was using a biometric system to register her attendance amid waterlogging at a coaching centre in Karol Bagh area, another hotspot for civil service aspitants.
The injured woman identified as Vani Awasthi is currently undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Uttar Pradesh’s Bareilly. As per the medics in the Bareilly hospital, Vani was initially taken to RML Hospital in Delhi after the incident and later shifted to the UP hospital.
