Two minor brothers were electrocuted yesterday.
The tragic incident took place at Dighir Par village near Benapole. The victims were Ashiqul Islam, 7 and Taufiqul Islam, 5, sons of Aminul Islam.

Police and family sources said, seeing the just concluded World Cup football on TV, the two minor brothers asked their father to buy them a football. He fulfilled their wish.

Yesterday morning, the two brothers were playing football in the backyard. A kick sent the ball into a bush behind their house.

As they went to pick up the ball, they came in contact with a live electric wire and were electrocuted.

A pall of gloom descended in the area after the tragic incident.
