A 60-year-old worker was electrocuted while working in the kitchen of a cafe in east Delhi's Preet Vihar area, police said on Sunday.

Last month, Sakshi Ahuja (34) died after accidentally coming in contact with a live wire at the New Delhi Railway Station complex amid rainfall.
This was the first incident of electrocution reported in the national capital this monsoon season. Following this, two more such incidents were reported.
Delhi recorded 153 mm of rain in 24 hours ending 8:30 on Sunday, the highest in a single day in July since 1982, the India Meteorological Department said.
An interaction between a western disturbance and monsoonal winds is leading to an intense rainfall spell over northwest India, including Delhi which experienced the season's first "very heavy" rainfall.
