Md Asaduzzaman, officer‑in‑charge of Jhenaidah Sadar Police Station, confirmed the matter Monday.
Their youngest son, Billal Hossain, said, “My mother called me for rice threshing work on the ground. I saw both my mother and father lying there with a large stand fan they were using for threshing. I was also electrocuted when I quickly tried to help them. After unplugging the fan, I found both my parents unconscious.”
