Interesting how the legend claims to have been validated by Snopes, when Snopes has something very different to say about the subject.

Check the sources!!!

Snopes appeared to give the story some 'benefit of the doubt.' No surprise there; it's almost never possible to 'prove a negative.' Just try to prove, say, that a UFO did NOT land in your backyard last night laugh

With this obvious re-write of an old story ... and the tale that started in this thread also coming from India (source of the original electrocution claim) .... I pronounce both tales FAKE.
