Bahraich: 12-yr-old attacked by wolf
Bahraich: A 12-year-old boy, identified as Aman, was attacked by a wolf in Kharmariya Hardo Patti village in Mahsi area of Bahraich district early on Thursday morning.
The boy sustained serious injuries and was rushed to a nearby hospital.
The forest department has, so far, failed to capture the wild animal and the repeated wolf sightings have triggered fear among villagers.
Panic gripped the Mahsi Tehsil of Bahraich district where a wild wolf snatched a two-year-old child from his mother's lap on Tuesday night. A few hours later, the child's mutilated body was recovered from a nearby sugarcane field, triggering fear and anger among the locals.
District magistrate, Bahraich, Monika Rani, who has initiated several precautionary measures, said that the area is being monitored using drones.
She has directed officials to maintain night surveillance in vulnerable villages, particularly those near forests.
The DM has also appealed to residents to keep a close watch on their children, avoid sleeping outside or on open terrace and immediately report any sighting of wild animals to officers concerned. The DM directed the officials to coordinate with PRD personnel, anganwadi workers, sanitation staff, village heads, lekhpals and gram panchayat secretaries. They were instructed to stay alert from 8 pm to 5 am, raise awareness among villagers and continuously update a designated WhatsApp group with real-time information.

He said that it is important to file a complaint in the Golden Hour as there is a high possibility of recovering the financial loss, especially if the complaint is filed within an hour of being affected by cybercrime. While conducting more awareness programs on behalf of the district police administration to the people of the society, he also said that investment frauds, loan fraud, APK files, social media fraud, job fraud, digital arrest, lottery fraud, credit card fraud etc. are happening in the present society. He said that no APK files should be downloaded in WhatsApp groups and if any mobile phone gets into the hands of cyber criminals, then the district police administration should be contacted immediately. Especially in investment frauds, people realise that they have been cheated by greedily handing over money to them in instalments. Unnecessarily disclosing credit card OTP numbers to other people's people results in loss of money, he said.
