Ten people have been arrested for killing a Himalayan back bear in Meghalaya.

A wildlife official on Wednesday said a team of foresters swung into action after a picture, with three men proudly displaying the black bear they killed in a jungle, went viral on social media.

Based on inputs, a team of foresters cordoned off Mawpyrthuh village under Pynursla civil sub-division, and arrested the 10 villagers involved in slaughtering of the bear.

According to wildlife officials, the villagers had laid a trap to kill the bear, which they claimed, had destroyed their beehives in the forest.
