Etawah, Apr 3 (IANS): One person was killed and 15 others injured when a swarm of bees attacked them in Uttar Pradesh's Etawah, said police.

The incident took place on Tuesday afternoon as a group of devotees, led by Radhe Shyam, were on their way to the Pilua Mahavir temple in Jaswant Nagar in Etawah. Accompanied by the family members and fellow villagers, they were travelling in three tractors and two loaders towards their destination.
