A 7-year-old boy was found dead in a forest in Nesbal village of north Kashmir Bandipora on Tuesday morning. The boy, identified as Zaid Bashir, was missing since Monday evening. His body was found with multiple injuries and signs of mutilation, suggesting that he had been attacked by a wild animal.
The villagers alleged that the Wildlife Department had been negligent in taking steps to prevent such attacks. They said that there had been several leopard sightings in the area in recent months, but the department had not taken any action to capture or relocate the animals.
The villagers staged a protest against the Wildlife Department and demanded that the department take immediate action to prevent future attacks. They also demanded compensation for the boy’s family.
The Wildlife Department has said that it is investigating the incident and will take appropriate action.
The death of the boy is a tragic reminder of the dangers posed by wild animals. It is important for people to be aware of the risks and to take precautions to avoid such incidents.
