A seven-year-old girl has been mauled to death by a leopard near Sangasar village in Gujarat's Dahod district, a forest official said on Tuesday. This is the third such incident in the region in less than a month, he said.

The big cat dragged the victim away from outside her house in Dhanpur taluka on Monday evening, said Vasiya Dungri forest range officer Mahesh Parmar. The half-eaten body of the girl was found deep inside the forest on Tuesday morning, he said.
