Says Konankunte subdivisional BSNL manager PremChandra: " We had erected a BSNL phone pillar outside the house. Normally telephone wires have 50 volt DC current which is harmless. 

A near by house owner completed the construction and our BSNL phone pillar got bent.As the telephone wire came in touch with the 11 kv high tension electric wire which is nearly burnt, and high voltage current moved through the telephone wire to Manjunath's house effecting this bad fortune. 

As the Bangalore police checking into the case thoroughly and they are in touch with the officials of BSNL and BESCOM.
