In the Gogunda police station area of Udaipur district, Rajasthan, the recent spate of leopard attacks has instilled a sense of fear among the residents. Between September 18 and October 1, seven people have lost their lives due to leopard attacks in various villages in this region, including children, women, and the elderly, highlighting the severity of the situation.
Local residents report that leopard attacks occur suddenly and are extremely terrifying. Villagers state that leopards have been frequently spotted in the surrounding areas in recent times.
