A fisherman was struck dead by lightning even as he, along with his brother, was returning to the shore in the country boat on Friday morning.
Police said A. Antony Jesular, 29, of 50 Houses Colony in Vellaipatti near here and his brother Satish, 25, who had ventured into the sea in a fibreglass boat for fishing on Thursday night, were returning to the shore on Friday morning. When they were three nautical miles away from Vellaipatti, lightning struck Antony Jesular and he swooned.

Bangladesh is witnessing renewed political tension after the killing of Sharif Osman Hadi, a young leader who emerged during the July–August 2024 uprising that led to the removal of Sheikh Hasina. Hadi later headed the radical group Inquilab Mancha and was campaigning ahead of the 2026 parliamentary election when he was shot in Dhaka. His death has triggered protests, diplomatic friction with India, and concerns over rising political violence as Bangladesh heads towards elections under an interim government.
