RANCHI: Two siblings, aged seven and two years, lost their lives after a swarm of bees attacked their house late on Thursday evening in the Mousibari area under the Jagannathpur police station. The mother of the two deceased children and her other son, aged five, were injured in the incident.
The deceased were identified as Mirha Aksa (2) and Arfan Alam (7), while Salman (5) and their mother Zameela Khatoon (35) were admitted to a private hospital, where Mirha and Arfan succumbed on Friday morning.
