At least three people were killed and two others were injured in lightning strikes in Jharkhand’s Ranchi district, police said on Sunday.
Two persons were killed in Itki block, around 25 km from the state capital, while one died in Sonahatu block, around 60 km from the city, on Saturday, a police officer said.
“In Itki, a volleyball match was being held at Vidhani village when thundershowers started. Most of the participants went inside a nearby school but four of them took shelter underneath a tree near the ground. When the lightning struck, two of them were killed on the spot and two others were injured,” Itki police station in-charge Rajni Ranjan told PTI.
