The incident took place at around 4 PM when the deceased, identified as Shehzad, was returning home after a workout at a gym.
As it started raining, Shehzad took shelter under a shed adjacent to the wall of the printing press. As he leaned on the wall, he got electrocuted and started trembling. Rehman, a friend of Shehzad who was behind him, tried to save him but he too got the electric shock. Someone used a dry wooden stick to pull them away from the wall, said a police official.
A police team, which investigated the spot, found that the current has leaked into the wet wall through one of the circuit boxes of the building.
Police have registered a case of negligence although no one has been arrested so far.
