Police inspector dies, 3 officers injured in bee attack at Ujjain police training center
Ujjain: A 60-year-old police inspector, Rameshchandra Dhurve, was killed, and three other police officers were severely injured in an attack by a swarm of bees at the Ujjain Police Training Center on Maksi Road on Wednesday.
The police officers were stung by the bees while sitting in the parking area of the Police Training Center.
One of the officers, Inspector Dhurve, passed away during initial treatment after being taken to the district hospital. The other three officers, including an inspector, a sub-inspector, and an assistant sub-inspector, are still receiving treatment at the district hospital. The parking area is located about 100 meters away from the main Police Training Center, and there were about 70 police officials and staff inside the training center.
According to PTS SP Anjana Tiwari, the incident occurred in the afternoon when Inspector Rameshchandra Dhurve, Inspector Dinesh Patel, Sub-Inspector Balram Chadhar, and ASI Kailash were sitting in the parking area after their afternoon activities. Suddenly, bees from hives on several trees in the PTS premises swarmed aggressively and targeted the officers. Inspector Rameshchandra Dhurve was severely stung on the head.

"The attack was so intense that the officers were caught off guard. Some staff members tried to help, but they were also stung and suffered minor injuries. The severely injured officers were immediately taken to the district hospital, where Inspector Rameshchandra Dhurve died during initial treatment. The other three officers are receiving treatment at the hospital," said Tiwari.
By late evening, five more staff members from PTS were admitted to the district hospital with bee sting injuries, although their condition was stable. Two of them were discharged after receiving primary treatment. Inspector Dhurve previously served for many years in the Ujjain DSB before joining PTS, and he was due to retire in about a year and a half.
