A nine-year-old girl died in a leopard attack in Bandipur Rural Municipality in Tanahu district on Monday.

The deceased has been identified as Sukriti Thapa Magar of Bahune Bhangyanj of Bandipur-5 in Tanahu district, according to Bandipur Rural Municipality chairperson Purna Singh Thapa.

The body of the minor girl was found in a nearby forest. Locals here have been terrorised by the Leopard and other wild animals since Bandipur and its surroundings have verdant forests. The leopards are entering human settlements searching for food as their natural preys have been depleting in the forests.

A total of 11 children have lost their lives to Leopard’s attacks in the past four years, said Division Forest Office, Tanahun.
