Three people, including a grandfather and grandson, were killed in separate lightning strikes in Raninagar, Naogaon. The incidents took place at around 11 am today, Thursday (May 21) in the fields of Paril and Gauta Atnitapara villages of the upazila. The deceased are Akkas Fakir (58), son of the late Asad Fakir of Paril Fakirpara village of the upazila, Tarek Fakir (24), son of Aminur of Gauta Atnitapara village, and Nayan Talukder (26), son of Hashem Talukder.
\nFarmers Akkas Fakir and Tarek Fakir are each other’s grandfather and grandson. According to local and police sources, Akkas Fakir and Tarek Fakir were harvesting paddy as laborers on the land of a person in the village’s Jatha field in Paril village of the upazila this morning. Both of them died on the spot when they were struck by lightning at around 11 am while harvesting paddy.
\nOn the other hand, when it rained around 11 am, Nayan Takuldar, a young man from Gauta Atnitapara village, went to fetch cows from the field. Since then, he has not returned home.
