Three people were killed in two separate incidents after being struck by lightning in Bundi district, police said on Wednesday.

Banwari Mehar (65) and his wife Nandudevi (60), residents of Balkasa village, were killed on the spot late on Tuesday evening after lightning struck them when they were working in their agriculture field, they said.

Their son later discovered their bodies in the field, they said.
