Four men in Gurgaon were struck by lightning while sheltering under a tree during a thunderstorm, collapsing instantly as stunned bystanders watched. Emergency crews rushed them to the hospital, and all are now recovering.
Experts warn that trees act as natural lightning rods, making them dangerous spots during storms. Instead, people should seek shelter indoors or in a vehicle. The incident has sparked calls for lightning arresters in parks and greater public education on storm safety.
