A two-year-old girl died after a leopard attacked and dragged her for
about 100 metres while she was playing at a mango orchard in Kadwasa
village near Kodinar in Junagadh district on Friday evening.
Another girl, believed to be about three or four years old who playing nearby, was injured apparently by the big cat.
The victim was playing at her family’s mango orchard, with her
mother and grandmother nearby, when the leopard attacked her around 7.30
pm. The two women gave chase to the leopard and the animal dropped the
girl around 100 metres away. The girl died after some time.
Soon, forest officials reached the spot and discovered that
another girl had been injured. It is presumed that the same leopard may
have attacked her, said Dr K Ramesh, deputy conservator of forests at
Gir West Division, adding that forest staff were laying traps to catch
the animal.
