Wolf In Kanpur: Nearly 200 km away from Bahraich, a wolf has been terrorising Kanpur. In the space of two days, it has attacked four people. The wolf has been seen in villages on the edge of the forest along Semariywa and Behta villages in Kanpur. The locals of these villages were attacked by the wolf while they were working in the fields. The villagers have blamed the forest department for the attack.

Three people from Semariywa and Behta villages in the Narwal police station area of Kanpur were injured in a wolf attack late on Thursday evening. The attack occurred when Jagrup's 10-year-old son, Shanu, and 44-year-old Rambhahadur, both from Semariya village, were working in the field.

Suddenly the wolf crept up to them and attacked. Before they could react, the wolf slashed and bit Rambahadur and grabbed the child in its jaws. Somehow, both escaped the wolf's attack and fled to the village. The wolf also attacked 50-year-old Ramkishor, who lives in a nearby village.

Bahraich Wolf Travelled To Kanpur?

The next day, the wolf attacked another person named Prakash, who was also working in his field at the time. So far, the attacks seem to have been the work of only one wolf. It is not known whether it is from the pack, five of which were caught in Bahraich this month.

As per forest officials, the Bahraich pack had six wolves. However, one wolf still remains at large.
