The decomposed carcass of a 10-year-old female leopard that attacked two children a couple of days back, was found in the forest patch in Murbad, Thane on Saturday. The children were attacked when they had gone to the forest with their grandmother to collect firewood and fruits in Karpewadi forest on Friday afternoon.
Katibai Ramu Bhalla, 52, climbed a jamun tree, while the children – Naresh Bhalla, 13, and Ramu Bhalla, 7, – were collecting the fruit on the ground when the leopard attacked Naresh. Katibai started to descend and tried to scare the animal away with a sickle, but it pounced towards her forcing her to climb up the tree again. Ramu then started pelting stones at the leopard when it tried to attack him. Scared, the leopard ran away.
