A person injured in the attack of wild bumblebees admitted to the hospital
Hamirpur, April 14:
A pre-wedding celebration turned into a nightmare in Rakkar village near Bharmoti, under the Nadaun subdivision of Himachal Pradesh’s Hamirpur district, when a swarm of wild bumblebees attacked a family during a temple visit. The incident left 25 people injured, including the groom, children, women, and elderly members.
The affected family, headed by Dilip Singh of Karaur village, had gone to the Guga temple to offer prayers ahead of the wedding of his son Naveen. As the group was returning after the puja and prasad distribution, they were suddenly swarmed by wild bumblebees near the temple premises.
Several Injured, Groom Hospitalized
The victims include Naveen (groom), Indira Devi, Pawan Kumar, Himan Singh, Shubham, Saurabh, Abhishek, Nitin, Kusumlata, Pramod, Rahul, and Gayatri Devi among others. The bees stung multiple members severely, causing panic and chaos.
Pawan Kumar’s condition is reported to be critical, while five people—including the groom—have been admitted to Nadaun Hospital for treatment. The rest of the injured were provided first aid on-site.
Family members shared that children were also among those stung, adding to the trauma of what was meant to be a joyful occasion. Local authorities are monitoring the situation, and steps are expected to be taken to prevent such incidents near religious sites.
