According to information, the incident took place in the Hathni Kund forest area under the Kishangarh police station limits.
According to information, a group of people had gone to the area near a waterfall and rocky spot in the forest to offer evening prayers and open their Roza together.
The place is known for its natural beauty and many people visit it for outings.
Reports say that a man named Anjar Rain had reached the spot with his friends and other people to arrange the Iftar. They had brought food and other items and were preparing to open their fast. A small fire was also lit using a gas cylinder to help with the preparations.
However, the smoke and heat from the fire are believed to have disturbed a nearby hive of bees in the forest. Soon after, a large swarm of bees flew towards the gathering and began attacking the people present there.
Local people present at the spot somehow managed to control the situation and helped the injured move to a safer place away from the bees. First aid was later given to those who were hurt.
Since the incident took place in a forest area, it took some time for people to manage the situation properly. However, after some time the bees moved away and the situation returned to normal.
Fortunately, no serious injuries were reported in the incident, but the sudden attack created fear among the people present there.
