Delhi High Court orders BSES to pay ₹10 lakh to Sub Inspector Afzal Ali's widow in electrocution case.

The Delhi High Court ordered power company BSES to pay ₹10 lakh to Shagufta Ali, widow of Sub Inspector Afzal Ali, who died from electrocution in 2017. While Shagufta initially sought ₹50 lakh, the court noted the family already received ₹27.96 lakh in pension benefits. The ex-gratia payment is separate from any future civil court compensation. BSES must pay within three months or face interest penalties.
