Guna (Madhya Pradesh): A pleasant wedding ceremony on Sunday afternoon turned dreadful in Guna after a swarm of bees attacked the attendees leaving them severely injured. Almost a dozen people have been injured and few admitted to the ICU are currently undergoing treatment.
After the incident, the host who rented the garden has accused the garden operator of threatening him and demanded strict action from the district administration.
