The locals said that a swarm of bees encircled the pair as soon as they arrived at the river’s bank.
Boro’s companion jumped into the water and could save his life but he sustained some injuries. Boro was unable to evade the attack, and in a matter of seconds, more than 500 bees stung him all over his body, making him lose consciousness.
He was rushed to the Nagrijuli Hospital. But as his condition worsened, he was shifted to another hospital for advanced treatment but died on the way.
Meanwhile, the other man is undergoing treatment at the hospital.
