Overview
- Usha Devi, 35, was dragged into dense sugarcane near Mahrajnagar on Saturday evening and her mutilated body was recovered Sunday morning.
- Forest officials said the attacker was likely a leopard or a tiger, but crowded scenes trampled pugmarks and prevented firm identification.
- Overnight searches used drones, patrol teams are now monitoring the area, and cameras will be set up to identify the animal.
- Authorities sent the body for post-mortem examination and pledged compensation to the family after the report is issued.
- In a separate incident near Bela village in the Majhgain range, a 60-year-old man named Wajid sustained back and hand injuries and was discharged after treatment.
