In a terrifying moment caught on video, four men were struck by lightning while sheltering under a tree during a sudden storm in a Gurgaon park.
Eyewitnesses say dark clouds rolled in quickly, and as rain began to fall, the group rushed under the nearest tree for cover. Moments later, lightning struck with a deafening crack—hitting the tree and sending all four men crashing to the ground.
Bystanders immediately ran to help. Though stunned and suffering burns and shock, all four survived. Emergency crews arrived quickly, and the men were taken to the hospital for treatment.
The incident, now viral online, is a chilling reminder: during storms, trees are not safe shelters. Experts urge people to seek refuge in buildings or cars—not under trees or in open spaces.
