Three minor boys were killed and another was injured when a tractor on which they were riding after skipping school overturned in Chhattisgarh’s Dhamtari district, police said on Thursday.<\/p>\n
The accident took place on Wednesday near Charra village under Kurud police station limits, a police official said.<\/p>\n
The deceased have been identified as Pritam Chandrakar (16), Mayank Dhruv (16), residents of Mogra village, and Honendra Sahu (14), from Charra. The injured boy, Arjun Yadav, is a native of Banagar, he said.<\/p>\n
Chandrakar took out his tractor and all the four then went to Kurud for a ride on it after skipping school, he said.<\/p>\n
On way back, Chandrakar, who was driving the tractor, lost control over the vehicle following which it overturned near an agriculture college at Charra, the official said.<\/p>\n
While three of the teenagers got trapped under the tractor and died on the spot, another boy sustained serious injuries, he said.<\/p>\n
After being alerted by locals, police reached the spot and sent bodies for post-mortem.<\/p>\n
The injured boy has been admitted to hospital.<\/p>\n
A case has been registered in this connection and further investigation is underway, the police said.<\/p>\n
According to officials, the damaged ‘side shoulders’ (embankment of soil provided on a road edge) in rural areas lead to such accidents.<\/p>\n
In the Charra area, the ‘side shoulders’ have not been filled properly and there are pits on the road sides, which may have caused the tractor to overturn, they said.<\/p>\n
