In a shocking incident at a Gurgaon park, four men were struck by lightning while taking cover under a tree during an unexpected storm. As dark clouds rolled in, they likely believed the tree would shield them from the rain—but instead, it became a lightning rod.

A deafening crack was heard just before all four collapsed to the ground. Bystanders quickly called for help and kept a safe distance until emergency services arrived.

The event serves as a sobering reminder: trees aren’t safe shelter during storms. Authorities are urging people to stay indoors during lightning and avoid tall objects like trees. As monsoon season continues, staying alert and informed could save lives.
