In the early hours of Thursday night, a leopard brutally entered a doorless house in Tajawar Vijay Tola village of Shahdol district in Madhya Pradesh and carried off a tribal girl, Saraswati Gond, aged 17-18. The girl was sleeping alongside her sister when the apex predator made its attack. Saraswati's sister discovered her missing the following morning, triggering a search that eventually led to finding the girl's body around 150 meters from the house. The leopard had killed Saraswati and consumed part of her abdomen.
Saraswati lived with her mother and three siblings in extreme poverty, as their house lacked even basic doors to provide protection. The girl's father, who was a daily-wage laborer, was away in Gujarat. In response to this tragic incident, the forest department announced that they would provide a financial assistance of ₹8 lakh to the victim's family. North Shahdol District Forest Officer Taruna Verma has written to the Collector to request the provision of a new house for the family under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana.
