Muzaffarnagar, June 10

A Class X student was killed in a village here after being attacked by a swarm of bees, police said on Wednesday.

The incident took place in Mirapur Khurd under the Khatoli police station limits on Tuesday, they said.

The minor victim had gone to the field along with his father to cut sugarcane crop when a swarm of bees attacked him, the police said.

He was rushed to a hospital, where doctors declared him dead.

A bee sting leaves behind a venomous toxin that can cause pain and other symptoms. Being stung multiple times can prove to be fatal. PTI

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
