According to the police, the incidents took place in the forest area near Basai Daang in Dholpur, some 300 km from Jaipur.
A bear had attacked a 45-year old man identified as Rambabu on Monday.
“The bear mauled him to death and then attacked a family of shepherds which had gone to a pond with their flock of sheep for water. Five of the family members were left severely injured,” said a police officer.
The same bear attacked a 40-year old man, Tej Singh in nearby Veerpur village. “Tej Singh had gone into the forest to collect some medicinal plants along with other villagers when the animal attacked the group Tuesday,” said the officer.
While five of them were injured in the attack, the bear killed Tej Singh.
Other residents rushed to the spot, but the bear had dragged Singh’s body deeper into the forest.
A wild life expert team has been sent to the area. “We are trying to locate the animal,” said a forest department officer.
