Mob tries to set helpless bear ablaze in Kashmir, crowd cheers
A shocking story has emerged from Kashmir. People tried to set a bear on fire in the Shopian district of South Kashmir. As the bear climbed up a tree, the cheering mobs gathered around, they tied a burning cloth on a pole and raised it until it touched with the body of the bear, who could not climb up any further. Flames engulfed the bear in no time. It's not clear whether the bear died or survived, since it came down from the tree while still in flames and managed to escape. The incident took place earlier this week. (Video has disturbing images, not suitable for children)
