Bahraich Wolf Attack: Victim's family blames forest department for not installing doors in houses - World News Network

Bahraich (Uttar Pradesh) [India], September 11 (ANI): After a wolf attacked an 11-year-old girl in Uttar Pradesh’s Bahraich, a member of the family of the victim on Wednesday blamed the forest department team for not installing doors in houses of the villages and said that the man-eating animal had been seen in the village earlier as well.
As the authorities in Uttar Pradesh’s Bahraich continued their search for a sixth ‘killer’ wolf, an 11-year-old girl was injured after a wolf attacked her in the city on Tuesday night.
A member of her family, Sunil Kumar, said that the wolf dragged the child out of the house to the road.
“A wolf came here at night and dragged the child out of the house to the road…A boy was sitting there. When the wolf brought the girl there, he called out. The wolf was alarmed and he ran away after leaving the girl there. The wolf had been to the village 3-4 times earlier too. The forest department team has not come yet. The door has not been installed here; if there were doors, then the incident would not have taken place,” he said.

The girl who was attacked by the wolf has been identified as Suman. The brother of the Suman said that the wolf attacked when everyone was sleeping in the house.
“The man eater dragged my sister from the house. Everyone was sleeping and there are no doors in the house,” the brother Surender said.

Meanwhile, the sister-in-law of the girl said,”Yesterday, when the wolf attacked Suman and was carrying her away, she shouted, after which the villagers chased it away.”
The victim of wolf attack, Suman, said that the wolf dragged her from the house to the road.
“The wolf attacked me, after which I shouted and my dada (brother) woke up. He was larger in size than a dog,” she added.
Later, she was admitted to the local government hospital in the Mahasi for treatment.
“Wolf attacked an 11-year-old girl tonight. The girl was admitted to CHC Mahasi and is under treatment,” said the Mahasi CHC incharge.
The incident has further heightened fear among locals in the region. Earlier on Tuesday, the Uttar Pradesh Forest Department captured the fifth ‘killer’ wolf, while one remains elusive. The wolves had been behind several attacks on villagers in Bahraich.
The Uttar Pradesh Forest Department took the wolf to a rescue shelter. The Uttar Pradesh Forest Department had initiated “Operation Bhediya” to apprehend a pack of wolves responsible for recent attacks in 25-30 villages under Mahsi tehsil in the Bahraich range of Bahraich Forest Division.
Three snap cameras have also been installed in Sikandarpur village around six caves, which local villagers claim to be the habitat of the wolves. 9 people have been killed and more than 40 people have been injured until now due to the attacks by the man-eater wolves in various villages of Bahraich.
