Where did the shock come from, the charging cable or the laptop(considering the fact that laptop panels are made of plastic)?

You need to visit a technician, with both the laptop and charger.
Would advise you not to use, till cause of shock is discovered.

It's short circuiting. Electric shock cannot be a good thing. Visit your nearest laptop technician.

thanks bozz... U mean it might be the extension socket? Cos I v been thinking if it's the charger it should have got burnt... I will try changing it as you have said.
