The scene, caught on camera by bystanders, has gone viral on social media.
The victim, identified as Nanhe-miyan from Babiyana village in Bareilly’s Bhamora area, survived the incident but suffered severe injuries. According to a report by Dainik Jagran, he sustained multiple fractures in both his arms and legs and is currently undergoing treatment in critical condition.

According to a Dainik Jagran report, as the storm intensified, he held onto a large tin shed installed at the venue in an attempt to protect himself.

Many areas witnessed severe destruction after the storm, with reports of damaged homes, uprooted trees, broken power poles, and ruined infrastructure. Officials said the majority of deaths were linked to falling walls, lightning strikes, and trees being blown over.
During May, North India experiences its peak pre-monsoon phase, as intense dry heat from Rajasthan and western Uttar Pradesh interacts with cooler winds carrying moisture from the Bay of Bengal.
This interaction results in highly unstable weather conditions, producing giant thunderclouds responsible for lightning strikes, powerful squalls and hailstorms.
An active Western Disturbance sweeping across northern India this week mixed with moisture from the pre-monsoon system, significantly strengthened the storms and triggered destructive winds across many districts.
