Gurugram, Jul 22 (PTI) A leopard killed six goats by entering a cattle enclosure at Rehna village in Haryana’s Nuh district, police said on Tuesday.
The incident reported late on Monday night has triggered panic in the area, with the villagers demanding financial aid from the administration for the family whose goats were killed.
The sarpanch of the village informed the wildlife department about the incident on Tuesday. A wildlife official who visited the village confirmed that the goats were killed by a leopard, whose pugmarks were also visible near the cattle enclosure.
Nazakat, a villager, said the leopard entered the village late at night on Monday and went straight to the cattle enclosure belonging to a person named Sekul and attacked the goats.
Hearing the noise, some villagers rushed out of their homes and saw the leopard running towards the hills located nearby.
Another villager named Kamru claimed that two of his goats were missing.
“As our village is located close to the Aravalli range, leopards have been spotted in the area earlier too. The goats were the only source of income for Sekul and we demand financial assistance for him,” Nazakat said. PTI COR ARI
