In a staggering weather incident, a man in Uttar Pradesh's Bareilly was launched nearly 50 feet into the air, along with a tin roof, during a ferocious storm. This calamity resulted in at least four fatalities in the district, as the adverse weather wreaked havoc across the region.

The individual, identified as Nanhe Mian of Bamiyana village, was videoed clinging to the tin roof before being dramatically lifted and tossed into an adjacent field. Initially, the authenticity of the footage was doubted online, with some suspecting artificial intelligence manipulation. However, for the 50-year-old e-rickshaw driver, the ordeal was all too real.

On Thursday, Mian recounted how he was at a wedding hall to gather items when fierce winds tore the roof away. As he grabbed a rope to secure the shed, a powerful gust elevated him and the roof into the sky. He sustained various injuries, including fractures, as the tumultuous weather continued to affect many, killing people and animals and damaging properties across the state.
