Seven people were killed in separate lightning incidents across three districts of Bangladesh on Monday, April 27, 2026. The deaths occurred in Netrokona, Bogura, and Habiganj during a period of Kalbaishakhi storms and thunderstorms that brought relief from recent heat. In Netrokona’s Khaliajuri upazila, three men died in separate incidents while fishing, drying paddy, and harvesting crops. Local police confirmed the deaths and said the bodies would be handed over to families after official procedures.
In Bogura’s Gabtali upazila, two people died in storm-related incidents. One man was struck by lightning while bringing goats from a field, and another died when a large tree fell on his shop during the storm. Police urged residents to avoid unsafe areas and called for identifying and removing risky trees in public spaces. In Habiganj, two farmers died in separate lightning strikes while working in paddy fields and near their homes.
Local authorities confirmed the incidents and said assistance would be arranged for affected families, particularly those in financial hardship.
