Bhadrak: A day after 10 passengers were electrocuted to death in Ganjam after a bus came in contact with an 11KV wire, two persons had a narrow escape in a similar incident in Bhadrak district on Monday.
According to sources, Durjyodhan Raul (65) and Sudarshan Jena (32) were riding a motorbike through Kaithakhola market near Dhamra in the early hours when the vehicle came in contact with the wire hanging that had snapped from a nearby electric pole.

Family members of Surendra and Duryodhan later lodged a complaint at Dhamra police station, holding the electricity department responsible for the mishap.
