Three boys were killed and four
suffered injuries when lightning
struck them in Giddenahalli at
Marle on Friday.
The dead are Lathish (14),
Basavaraju (12) and Prasanna (13).
The injured, Kiran, Mahendra,
Krishnamurthy and Ishwara, have
been admitted to a hospital.
The lightning struck a tree under
which the children were playing,
sources said. A coconut palm was
uprooted on Rathnagiri Road and
the pandals erected for BJP prime
ministerial candidate Narendra
Modi's election rally collapsed due
to heavy rain in Chikmagalur.
