Prabhu Bhatara was on his way home from a wedding when he jumped out of the SUV he was travelling in to go to the toilet. He is believed to have spotted the injured bear and tried to take a selfie with the animal, it is claimed. Others in the vehicle cautioned him against taking the photo, but he was attacked when he got too close. Forest officials - who had to tranquilise the bear to recover his body - said a stray dog tried to fight with the bear but failed to save the man. Forest ranger Dhanurjaya Mohapatra said: "Bhatara died on the spot. "The bear is being treated for its injuries." The incident happened on Wednesday near Papadahandi in Nabarangpur district of Odisha, India.
