The deceased were identified as Rohit Jadhav (18), Vijay Chavda (19) and Adam Sama (24). Their bodies were taken to Veraval Civil Hospital for autopsy.

The victims were contract labourers, engaged in work of erecting poles for providing electricity to farmers in the area.

They apparently received shock when the pole touched the high-tension wire overhead, the official said.
