Bijnor: A leopard was allegedly beaten to death in a village here for attacking a home guard jawan, a forest department officer said on Saturday.
The incident occurred on Friday evening in Amannagar village, he said.
Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) Gyan Singh said Homeguard Jawan Surendra had gone to a tubewell behind his house with his children — Disha (20), Reshu (14) and Deepanshu (18) — where the leopard was sitting on a mango tree.
Upon seeing him, the leopard pounced on him and attacked him. Hearing the noises, the locals arrived at the scene and beat the leopard with sticks. It died on the spot, Singh said.
Citing information from the villagers, Singh said that Disha showed courage and caught the leopard’s legs from behind and Reshu and Deepanshu struggled with the leopard for 10 minutes to save their father.
Singh said that information about the incident has been given to the senior officials and the post-mortem of the leopard has been done.
Ranger Rajneesh Tomar said that the dead leopard is a female and its age is estimated to be around three years. Departmental action is being taken in this case.
