Superintendent of Police (SP) Rajesh Dwivedi told PTI that the incident took place in Kundaliya village on Tuesday night when the driver was taking the vehicle to his home.
Driver Sukhbir (30) and another person identified as Jasvir (16) were thrown off by the electric shock and came under the tractor’s wheels, resulting in their deaths on the spot, he said.
Three others sustained injuries and were admitted to a hospital, he added.
