'Surprise Inspection': Bear Cubs Pay Police Station a Visit

There are four species of bear found in India - Sloth Bear, Moon Bear, Brown Bear, and Sun Bear. Sloth Bears, contrary to what their name would suggest, are highly aggressive, having been listed as one of the most dangerous wild animals in the country. They have been known to attack and kill people in the wild areas of Chhattisgarh state.

In an amusing turn of events, three bear cubs entered a police station in Kanker - an area in the southern region of India’s Chhattisgarh state. They came during the night and conducted an impromptu inspection of the station.

The video was shared by Indian Police Service officer Dipanshu Kabra, who said it looked as if they had arrived for a late night “surprise inspection”.

In the 20-second video clip, one bear can be seen sauntering into the police station, followed by two more who are walking close to each other.

#Kanker में देर रात थाना परिसर में औचक निरीक्षण. 😅😅
थाना परिसर में घुस आये 3 भालू. ड्यूटी पर तैनात जवानों की बहादुरी व धैर्य को सलाम जो इन परिस्थितियों का सामना करते हुए भी, स्वयं से पहले जनसेवा में तैनात हैं.
सावधानी भी बरतें, सुरक्षा उपायों का पूरा ध्यान रखें.@KankerPolice pic.twitter.com/QFGhLqQBFE
