Bijnor : Fear of leopard attacks has intensified in Bijnor during the monsoon after a two-year-old boy was allegedly lifted from his house while asleep and killed near his village on Saturday.
Rohit’s body was found around 200 metres from his house in Mussepur Pali village under Nahtaur police station. Around 4.45 am, villager Madan spotted the body near the village boundary and alerted the family. When Rohit’s father, Rajveer , checked the house, he realised that his son was missing.

Residents have demanded intensified surveillance, regular patrolling and steps to capture the animals.
