A woman was mauled by a leopard at a tribal settlement in Aarey colony yesterday evening. This is the second such attack in 10 days. Savita Varte, a resident of Khabyachapada, was attacked while she had gone to fetch water near her house.

“The incident took place around 7 pm when Varte had gone to fetch water from the hand pump 300 metres away from her house. The leopard attacked while she was sitting at the pump,” a resident of Khabyachapada said. Immediately after the attack, the lady was rushed to Bhagwati hospital and will be released today.
