In **Bahraich's** Kaiserganj area, specifically in Majhara Taukali (Bhirgupurwa) village, a Forest Department team shot dead a wolf believed to be responsible for the deaths of six people over the past 37 days. With the help of a drone camera, the wolf's location was first identified and then cordoned off. Later, when it began to display aggressive behavior, the shooter opened fire, and the wolf was killed on the spot. The carcass of the deceased wolf has been sent for post-mortem.
The seriousness of the matter is further underscored by the fact that 36 people were injured during this period, and four of the six killed were children.
