86-Year-Old Woman Killed in Leopard Attack in Bahraich, UP
An 86-year-old woman named Phoolawati was killed in a leopard attack inside her thatched hut near Sitarampurwa village in Bahraich, Uttar Pradesh. The hut lacked a proper door and was located on irrigation department land after the family's previous home was lost to river erosion. Officials confirmed the attack through pugmarks and noted increased leopard movement due to waterlogging in nearby forests. The Forest Department provided immediate financial aid and is seeking permission to capture the leopard responsible.
