The incident occurred in Hariabanka village when the peasants were engaged in farming. The village is close to a forest and animals often sneak into the village in search of food, the official said.

The two injured persons have been admitted to hospital and their condition was serious, he said, adding that the forest department will bear the cost of the treatment. Forest guards have been deployed to drive away the wild boars and the villagers advised to avoid movement during the night, the official added.
