Hyderabad: A Class V boy from Nagole area, who suffered electric shock while flying a kite, died while undergoing treatment on Saturday.
He was the son of Nagesh, a native of Mahbubnagar working as a car driver here.
Police said Nagesh, along with his wife and two kids, stayed at a rented house in New Nagole colony area. His elder son, Satish, was studying in a nearby government school.

The kite got struck in the high tension electric cables passing through the area.
