The J-K wildlife department has declared two leopards as maneaters and asked its men to eliminate them after the animals mauled three persons, including a woman and a child, to death and spread panic among the villagers in North Kashmir’s Kupwara district. Confirming this, Deputy Commissioner Kupwara Mohammad Shafi Rather said that teams of the wildlife department are trying to locate the maneater leopards. In the past two days, a 22-year-old man, Mohammad Iqbal Doje, of Khanpora Satkuji and Raja Begum of Lawoosa were killed by the leopards in separate attacks inside the forests. Two weeks earlier, a six-year-old girl was also mauled to death by a leopard in the same area.
