A one-year-old girl was killed in a leopard attack in Gujarat’s Amreli district, a forest department official said on Friday.
According to a statement from Dalkhaniya Range of the state forest department, the incident took place around 6 pm on Thursday in Trambakpur village.
“Arjun Ninama’s daughter was sitting beside her mother, who was cooking, in their house when a leopard entered and pulled her away. Her mother tried to shoo away the animal and even hit it with a utensil, but in vain. The girl’s body was found near the house, which is around 3 kilometres away from Amreli wildlife sanctuary,” it said.
Upon receiving the information, forest and police personnel reached the spot and have begun further investigation. “The Dalkhaniya Range has deployed seven cages in the area to trap the leopard,” the statement added.
It said Arjun Ninama is a native of Madhya Pradesh working as a farm labourer in Trambakpur village.
In a separate incident, a two-year-old girl was killed by a lioness in Gir Gadhada taluka in Gir Somnath district on Wednesday.
