Thane: A teenaged boy was electrocuted after he came in contact with an iron staircase at a neighbour's house in Thane, police said today.

Yash Salvi (14), a student of class VIII who lived in Dharmaveer Nagar here, was returning home yesterday when he suddenly slipped.

He immediately caught hold of an iron staircase, put up by a neighbour, to balance himself.

However, he got electrocuted as the staircase apparently had power flow following a short-circuit from a live wire.

The Wagle Estate police have registered a case and are investigating further.
