Earlier on Monday, two persons were killed and another was injured in Hyderabad while transporting a Ganesh idol from Jalpalli to Purnaranapul.

The incident occured under Bandalguda police station limits on Monday. Police suspect electrocution as the cause of deaths. The bodies have been shifted to the mortuary for post-mortem examination, while the injured has been admitted to a hospital.

A day earlier, a similar tragedy occurred during Krishna Janmashtami celebrations in the Ramanthapur area of Hyderabad, where five people died and four others were injured when a chariot came into contact with a high-tension wire.

The State Government has announced an ex-gratia of Rs 5 lakh each to the families of the deceased and said medical expenses of the injured will be borne by the government.

"Five people died on the spot and four others were injured after receiving a live electric shock during the Sri Krishna Janmashtami procession last night. The injured were shifted to a hospital for further treatment, and the deceased bodies were sent for post-mortem examination," an inspector with Uppal police said on Sunday. (ANI)
