At least three devotees, in their 20s, were electrocuted and 28 injured when electric wires used for tapping power illegally fell on a Durga Puja marquee in Uttar Pradesh's Gorakhpur district early Monday, an official said.

The wires snapped at around 12.30 a.m. in the pandal put up at the Dharamshala crossing, some 300 km from here.
