A police inspector died and five constables sustained serious injuries after a honeybee attack at the Madhya Pradesh Police Training School (PTS) premises in Ujjain on Wednesday.

According to reports, the incident occurred due to heavy rain and strong winds that damaged a honeycomb on a tree within the premises, causing thousands of bees to swarm out.
