Bees sting Navsari woman to death

Bees sting Navsari woman to death
Amisha Naik
Surat: She had joined her neighbours in clanging thalis to cheer Coronavirus foot soldiers on Sunday evening. But moments later everyone froze in shock and disbelief as the 35-year-old woman met a painful death.
The woman Amisha Naik was badly stung by a swarm of honey bees on the terrace of her house in Kasturi Apartment in Navsari.
While most of them started running helter-skelter to save themselves, some of the neighbours tried to rescue her by throwing water on her body.

But Naik started vomiting and fell unconscious.
She was taken to a private hospital where doctors declared her dead on admission.
Husband of the deceased, Bankim Chandra Naik, who lodged a complaint at the Navsari town police station stated that he also went on the terrace, but seeing the swarm of honey bees, he immediately rushed down and went inside the house.
The neighbours then informed the husband about the incident and they immediately took the victim to the private hospital.

A police officer of Navsari town police said, “There was a massive beehive on the terrace of the building, which had gone unnoticed by the residents. Due to the beating of the thalis, the honey bees attacked those on the terrace. While most of them managed to escape from the spot, the woman was attacked by the bees.”
He added, “The woman was stung by the honey bees all over her body. We have sent the body for post mortem at the civil hospital and the reports are awaited.”
Naik has a two-year-old son while her husband works in a mobile phones showroom in the town as a sales executive.
