A 27-year-old chef and his younger brother were on Tuesday electrocuted at their house here, police said.
Sunil Kumar, a chef at an upscale cafe in Sector 29, and his 25-year-old brother Sanjay were in their rented accommodation in Saini Khera near Sector 40 when they suffered an electric shock.
Sunil was living here with his wife for the last two years. The deceased hailed from Etawah in Uttar Pradesh.
"Prima facie it appears that one of the brothers came in contact with a desert cooler where there was an electric short circuit due to rain. The other person died while trying to save his life," Assistant Commissioner of Police Rajesh Kumar told IANS.
