Mangalore: One has to know the technique of fixing a TV cable, even when it is disconnected in an atmosphere of thunder and lightning in darkness as on Sunday October 30, but a student Akshay(17) lost his life touching a live wire, while fixing back the cable.

He with his parents lived at Tekkatte. Akshay Shetty’s sister tried to save her brother, but could not, as electric supply was disrupted. Akshay could not watch the T-20 match between India and England, which India lost heavily, on Saturday night, due to darkness.
