In a tragic incident in Bahraich, Uttar Pradesh, two workers lost their lives after being electrocuted while working at a residential property. The accident took place on Saturday afternoon in Harchanda village.
Mohammad Ahmed (35) and Afzal (40), both hailing from the neighboring district of Gonda, had been employed for several days at a house owned by Sajjan. According to police reports, the workers were moving an iron ladder toward the terrace when it accidentally touched an overhead high-tension electric wire near the house.

The contact with the live wire resulted in a severe electric shock, causing both Ahmed and Afzal to collapse immediately. They were declared dead on the spot by emergency responders who arrived shortly afterward.
Jarwal Road Station House Officer (SHO), Ramesh Rawat, confirmed the incident, stating that the bodies have been sent for postmortem examination. He also mentioned that further legal proceedings related to the case are currently underway.
