Lightning "knocks" five students to the ground - footage of the horror caused by the weather on a university campus in India

A terrifying video reportedly shows the moment a lightning strike sent five students crashing to the ground on a university campus.

According to foreign media, the shocking incident occurred during a sudden downpour at Teerthanker Mahaveer University in Uttar Pradesh, India.

Captured by CCTV, the footage shows students huddled under a tree inside the campus premises when a bolt of lightning shook the ground beneath their feet.


The impact was so overwhelming that the entire group was "stunned," with some standing motionless for several seconds, while one of them immediately tried to call for help.

While the fallen students did not react, their peers rushed to check on them.

All five students were immediately hospitalized for evaluation and medical care. Authorities said two of them are in critical condition, while the other three are now recovering. /Telegraph/
