Four Dead in Moradabad Leopard Attacks
In a district called Moradabad in India, four people have been killed by leopards in just one month.
The attacks are happening in two villages, Bahapur Baliya and Lalapur Peepalsana.
The villagers are very scared because the leopards are now coming close to their homes, not just staying in the fields.
One man was even taken from his home while he was sleeping.
The villagers had a meeting and said they might leave their homes because the attacks are getting worse and the authorities aren't doing enough to stop them.
Six other people have also been hurt in these attacks.
Four people have been killed in leopard attacks in Moradabad district's villages in August 2023.
Three fatalities occurred in Bahapur Baliya village, and one in neighboring Lalapur Peepalsana village.
Villagers are threatening to leave their homes due to increasing leopard attacks and perceived inaction by authorities.
Six people have been injured in separate leopard attack incidents.
The latest attack involved a leopard dragging a farmer from his home courtyard while he slept.
