Leopard Attacks in J&K and Mumbai
Two sad and scary things happened with big cats called leopards.
In one place called Jammu and Kashmir, a little girl who was only 5 years old was hurt very badly by a leopard.
This happened outside her home at night, and the leopard took her into some bushes.
People had to look for her to find her.
Everyone is very sad and scared because of what happened.
A kind lady named Iltija Mufti went to talk to the girl's family to say she was sorry.
In another place called Mumbai, a leopard came into a building and hurt three people, including a young girl.
The leopard is now stuck inside the building, and people are trying to help it and keep everyone safe.
Both of these things show that sometimes wild animals can come into places where people live, and it can be very dangerous.
A 5-year-old girl was killed by a leopard in Jammu and Kashmir's Anantnag district.
The attack occurred in the Srigufwara area of Bijbehara on Wednesday night.
The leopard dragged the girl into nearby bushes, and her body was found after a search.
In Mumbai, a leopard entered a residential building in Bhayandar East and injured three people, including a young girl.
The leopard in Mumbai is currently trapped inside the Parijat Building, and authorities are working to safely relocate it.
