In a village in India, there is a wild bear.
The bear was very sad and angry because one of her baby bears had died.
On Wednesday, three brothers and sisters were working in a field.
Suddenly, the bear attacked them.
Sadly, the man and one of his sisters died in the attack.

People in the village said the bear became angry after her baby died.
The bear stayed near the two people who passed away.
Forest officers came to help after they heard the news.
They told everyone to stay away from that place to be safe.
A wild bear killed 38-year-old Halal Khor Jurri and his sister Chamrin Bai (40) in Chhattisgarh's Kanker district on Wednesday.
