Vadodara: A woman was injured and her four-month-old son snatched away, for a brief while, by a leopard which attacked them in Gujarat’s tribal-dominated Chhota Udaipur district, about 100 kilometres from Vadodara.
“Vikram Rathwa, wife Sapna and their four-month-old son were travelling on a motorcycle when the leopard attacked them yesterday near Raipur village in Pavi Jetpur tehsil in Chhotaudepur,” said an official.
“Around dusk yesterday, the leopard, which emerged from a nearby field, attacked us, injured Sapna on her knees and snatched our infant son Ayush,” Mr Rathwa told.
He claimed that his cries for help alerted villagers who assembled at the spot and managed to scare the leopard into releasing the child from its grip.
