There's four ways a batsman can be dismissed off of a no ball. The most common known being run out, the others are handling the ball, obstruction of the fielder and hitting the ball twice.
I know the run out is a more prominent dismissal, but am unaware of any batsman having being run out off of a no ball.
Granted, the other forms of dismissal are obscure. In the case of hitting the ball twice, there's no record of any batsman being dismissed in this way.
As for obstructing the fielder, only four batsmen have been given out. The first, in 1951, being Len Hutton. Rameez Raja in 1987, Mohinder Amarnath in 1989 and Inzamam-ul-Haq in 2006 being the others.
In the entire history of the game nine batsmen have been given out handling the ball. The very first was South African wicket keeper Russell Endean in 1956. The others are Andrew Hilditch, Desmond Haynes, Moshin Khan, Graham Gooch, Steve Waugh, Mohinder Amarnath, Dayrll Cullinan and Michael Vaughan.
The truth is, in the event of a no ball, one is as likely as the other. I don't think we'll ever see a batsman given out off of a no ball.
