A funeral procession in Etawah's Bakewar police station area was disrupted by a sudden bee swarm attack, leaving five people injured. The incident occurred on Saturday around 1 PM as the family of the deceased, Upendra Singh, traveled to Takrupura Ghat for his last rites. Lavkush, Singh's 19-year-old son, was among those severely stung.
The swarm descended upon the mourners as they traveled in a trolley, causing immediate panic. Lavkush, along with Pushpendra, Nandu, Naresh, and Shiv Veer, sustained multiple bee stings. They were initially rushed to a private hospital in Lakhna for treatment.
Lavkush's condition deteriorated significantly after initial treatment, prompting doctors to refer him to the district hospital. He was admitted around 3:30 PM. The attack has left the family and villagers deeply shaken, compounding the grief from Upendra Singh's recent death on Friday.
