Two brothers were electrocuted to death while cutting down a tree at their maternal uncle’s house in Borhanuddin upazila of Bhola on Thursday. Their father, Md Alam Boktar, was critically injured in the incident.

The accident occurred around 1:00 PM on Thursday in Ward No. 5 of Kachia Union in the upazila.

The deceased were identified as Abdur Rahim, 40, and Md Rakib, 30. Their father, Alam Boktar, is a resident of Shibpur village in Ward No. 2 of Shambhupur Union in Tazumuddin upazila.

According to eyewitnesses, Alam Boktar went to his brother-in-law Md Ayub Ali’s house with his two sons on Thursday morning to cut down a tree.

While Rahim and Rakib were cutting branches from the tree, their father was electrocuted while cutting branches on the ground.

Seeing their father being electrocuted, younger son Rakib climbed down to rescue him but was also electrocuted. His elder brother Rahim then rushed to save them and suffered the same fate.

Locals rescued the three and took them to Borhanuddin Upazila Health Complex, where the attending physician declared Rahim and Rakib dead. Their critically injured father was admitted to the hospital.

Borhanuddin Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Ashrab Ali confirmed the incident, saying police had visited the scene after receiving the news. The bodies were at the hospital, and legal proceedings were underway.
