Engineer Booked After Workers Electrocuted in Vrindavan
Two workers tragically died while trying to install a transformer in Vrindavan.
Even though the power was supposed to be off, electricity somehow got through the lines, causing a deadly shock.
The workers were part of a team from the Electricity Department.
Now, the police are investigating and have filed a case against an engineer who was in charge.
The accident took place near a place called Aadheshyam Ashram.
This is a serious situation because proper safety measures, such as making sure the power is completely shut off, weren't followed.

The incident occurred during the installation of a control transformer.
Despite a shutdown on the 11,000-volt line, electric current was present.
