Four days after a 13-year-old boy was electrocuted while erecting a DMK iron flagpole on the Villupuram-Mambalapattu road, the Villupuram West Police on Tuesday arrested the contractor S. Venkatesan, 38, of Anangur near here on charges of negligence and engaging a minor for the work. The victim E. Dinesh of Rahim Layout was studying in class VIII in the Government High School in Villupuram. The boy, along with a few others, went to erect flag posts in front of a marriage hall when the iron post came into contact with a live cable and died on the spot.
