Three Children Killed in Fresh Bahraich Wolf Attacks as Villages Tighten Defenses

Authorities say two wolves tied to the latest attacks were killed this week.

Overview

  • In Mallahanpurwa and Jaruva, three children were killed and another injured in the past week, marking a new flashpoint near the Ghagra river.
  • Officials are installing streetlights, fitting doors in houses that lack them, clearing sugarcane used as cover, and increasing patrols with villagers.
  • The Divisional Forest Officer reported two wolves involved in recent incidents were killed earlier this week, with teams tracing remaining animals for capture.
  • Administrators say the incidents now span roughly a 25-km radius and represent a shift from the earlier Manjhara Taukli cluster about 11 km away.
  • Residents describe thatched homes without proper doors and have changed routines by escorting children to school and restricting outdoor play.
