A leopard attack claimed the life of an elderly woman in the Pokhra area of Pauri district, Uttarakhand, on Thursday.

The incident occurred around 11:30 am when Rani Devi, aged 65, was cutting grass in Bagdi village. Her daughter-in-law, who had been with her, had returned home just before the attack to prepare lunch.

After Devi failed to return home by 2 pm, a search party found her body with deep neck wounds, suggesting a fierce struggle. Forest officials swiftly responded, securing the area, and a security team is on alert to prevent more attacks.
