Selfie gone wrong! Man killed while taking selfie with bear in India

Selfies are injurious to health!

A man was killed by an injured bear after he tried to take a selfie with it. The man has been identified as Prabhu Bhatara and he was returning to Papadahandi with a few others in an SUV when they stopped to attend nature’s call.

He spotted an injured bear and decided to click a selfie with animal despite others telling him not to do. Animal mauled him and he died right there. “Bhatara died on the spot,” forest ranger Dhanurjaya Mohapatra said.

The nearest forest officer from there was 10 kms away and his body was recovered on Wednesday night but not before tranquilising the bear. The others just shot the video and not tried to save him. Albeit a stray dog tried to fight the bear but failed to save the man.

“The bear is being treated for its injuries,” Mohapatra said to HT.
