Wolf Captured in Bahraich, UP After Boy's Fatal Attack
In India, a young boy was killed by an animal, possibly a wolf.
This happened in an area where wolves have attacked people before.
After the boy's death, the government captured a wolf.
They're checking if this is the same wolf.
Last year, the government caught other wolves after similar attacks that caused fatalities.
The wolf was caught to calm angry locals and to keep people safe.
They are awaiting a DNA test to determine if the captured wolf was involved.
A two-year-old boy was killed by an animal in Uttar Pradesh's Bahraich district.
A female wolf was captured by forest officials on Saturday.
The capture followed the boy's death, sparking public outrage.
A DNA report is pending to determine if the captured wolf was responsible.
Last year, Operation Bhediya led to the capture of six wolves after attacks.
