KARACHI: The Sindh High Court on Wednesday granted bail to seven officials of the K-Electric in a case pertaining to the amputation of an eight-year-old boy’s both arms after he suffered an electric shock. A bench of the high court approved bail for the accused when it was informed that the parents of the victim have taken back the case against the power utility after reaching an agreement. The court directed the K-Electric officials to submit a surety of Rs50, 000 each. It further instructed the investigation officer to present a copy of the deal reached between the parties before the trial court concerned. According to the agreement, the K-Electric will bear complete expenses of the child’s treatment, besides paying Rs 25,000 to his family every month. The parents of the victim would also be paid an amount equivalent to 300 units of electricity each month. Earlier, another child in the Surjani Town area of the city also suffered electric shock from a loose high tension wire. 11-year-old Haris suffered electric shock after he slipped and fell from the second floor of a madrassa and grabbed the wire for support. He was taken to a hospital where both his arms were amputated due to severe burns.
