Wild bear kills man, sister in Chhattisgarh's Kanker; another injured
A wild bear attacked three brothers and sisters who were working in a field in a village in India.
Sadly, two of them died because of the attack.
The man was 38 years old and his sister was 40 years old.
Their other sister, who is 30 years old, was hurt and had to go to the hospital.
People who live near the village think the bear was a mother bear.
They believe she became very angry because one of her baby cubs had died the day before.
After the attack, the bear stayed near the place, which made everyone worried.
Forest workers came to the village to help and told people to stay away from that area.
Everyone is being careful so that no one else gets hurt.
A 38-year-old man, Halal Khor Jurri, and his 40-year-old sister Chamrin Bai died after being attacked by a wild bear in Chhattisgarh's Kanker district.

The attack took place in the afternoon in Largaon Markatola village under the Narharpur forest range while the three siblings were in a field.
