Roshan Balakrishna (43), a resident of Madikeri staying near Muneshwara Temple, died after being struck by lightning in Mysore.
He was the son of D. Balakrishna, who had served in the Excise Department. Roshan was employed as an IT professional and was working from home.
It is learnt that he had gone to inspect a piece of land in Mysore today. While standing on the property, he was struck by lightning and died on the spot.
Very sad. May his soul RIP
As a precaution it is said one should not stand below a tree or near a tall structure during lightening strikes
