Two migrant labourers were electrocuted to death while attempting to remove a bee hive from a tree on Saturday, the police said. The incident occurred when the iron ladder they were using to climb a tree to extract honey from a bee hive accidentally touched an overhead electric wire.

City Deputy Superintendent of Police Karandeep Singh said the deceased were identified as Sachin (35) and Dinesh (40), both natives of Uttar Pradesh.
The labourers had been hired to clear bee hives from a tree located on school premises. An investigation into the incident is currently underway, Singh added.
