This is the second thread I have seen today about folks getting shocked when touching their laptops while they are being charged -- and in BOTH cases, the posts were from India.

 

I have no familiarity with the electrical codes in India, only with those in the US -- but here, we can buy a small plug with lights on it from Home Depot, stick it into a wall socket, and see if (1) the polarity is correct, and  (2) it is properly grounded.

 

IF yours is NOT grounded, this is a potentially serious situation as you can get a serious charge from it.  So basically, you need the outlet checked to ensure it is grounded; otherwise, YOU are serving as the ground when you touch the laptop.
