According to the information, Suhail (son of Naeem), a resident of Khijarganj in Sikandrarao town of the district, has a shop near the Nagar Palika. Inspired by the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign, Suhail also climbed the roof of his shop to hoist a flag, from where a high tension power line was passing.
