A 12-year-old boy was killed after he got electrocuted while flying a kite in Rawalpindi’s Sadiqabad on Sunday, according to the police.
“He was flying a kite on the roof of his house when the string of the kite got tangled with an electric wire,” a police officer said.
The boy’s family and neighbours called the police after which he was shifted to a hospital. “He had passed away at the scene,” the officer added.
The police have requested residents to advise their children against flying kites as it poses a threat to their lives.
The Punjab government has banned kite flying across the province and the police have been directed to take strict action against the violators.
