Electric shock claims life of a dog at DU campus

A dog died after suffering an electric shock in rainwater adjacent to mall area at Dhaka University (DU), raising concerns about safety on campus and prompting immediate administrative response.

The incident came to light on Wednesday night after a video was posted by political science department student Esrafil Alam. 

In his post, he described seeing the animal die on the spot, with smoke rising from its body in waterlogged conditions near Mall Chattar in front of Surjo Sen Hall.
