Ram Singh Munda was arrested and jailed for violating wildlife laws, the bear was sent to a zoo where it refuses to eat and his daughter was sent to a state-run boarding school.

Munda, a member of the indigenous tribes who live in the forests of eastern India, said he found the sloth bear cub last year while gathering firewood near his village of Gahatagaon, about 125 miles north of the state capital, Bhubaneswar.

He brought the animal home, named her Rani, or Queen, and she became a cherished companion for the family, which was still struggling to overcome the death of Munda's wife the previous year.
