It could be seen in the video that it was raining when the incident took place. 40-year-old fruit vendor Fakru from Doodhbowli died on Tuesday May 7, after he lent support to an electric pole while crossing a flooded road in Bahadurpura. Initially, reports said that the locals ignored him, assuming he was drunk, but soon after realising what had happened, Bahadurpura Police were informed. Power to the pole was switched off.

Soon after police sprung into action, Fakru was admitted to a near by hospital where he was declared brought dead. Fakru was attempting to cross the flooded road when he tried to take support of an electric pole by leaning on to it.

As per a PTI report, heavy rain lashed the city and several parts of Telangana on Tuesday throwing the life out of gear in some parts. Many places in the city witnessed waterlogging leading to traffic blocks. The DRF ( Disaster Relief Force) teams were deployed and were clearing water stagnation and fallen trees in various places in the city, Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation officials said.
