Four people were killed and 10 others injured on Saturday after they came in contact with a high-tension wire while preparing for a Muharram procession in Jharkhand’s Bokaro district, police said.
The incident occurred at Khetko village around 80 km from the state capital Ranchi, when the top portion of Tazia, a miniature replica of the tomb of Imam Hussain, came in contact with a live wire, Bokaro Superintendent of Police Priyadarshi Alok said.
“The incident occurred around 6 am on Saturday while they were preparing for a Muharram procession. They were carrying a religious Tazia. It somehow came in contact with a high-tension electric wire of 11,000 volts,” the SP told PTI.
