"10 people were declared dead by the attending medical officer," the police added.
"A pick-up van carrying Kanwariyas on its way to Jalpesh was electrocuted today around 12 a.m. at Dharla Bridge under Mekhliganj Police Station. According to preliminary investigation, it could be due to wiring of the generator (DJ system) installed in the back of the vehicle "Amit Varma, Additional Superintendent of Police in Mathabhanga, confirmed the incident.
He asserted that all of the passengers were from the Sitalkuchi Police Station area and that their families had been notified of the tragic incident.
