Srinagar, Dec 24: A leopard entered the CRPF camp on Wednesday in Jammu and Kashmir’s Anantnag district and injured a trooper inside the camp.
Officials said that a leopard entered the Kapran CRPF camp in the district, creating panic and chaos there.
“Head constable, Kamleshwar Kumar, was injured in the leopard attack. He was given first aid at the local primary health centre, and his condition is stable. He is back in the camp,” the officials said.
Wildlife protection department field staff have been called in to relocate the leopard safely.
Recently, a leopard attacked a flock of sheep, killing at least seven and injuring many others in a village in North Kashmir’s Sopore. The incident triggered fear among the villagers, who appealed to the Wildlife Department to deploy teams and set up cages to capture the leopard before it caused further damage. A team from the Wildlife Department launched a hunt to track and capture the wild animal.
In September, an eight-year-old boy sustained injuries after being attacked by a leopard in the Chetragam area of South Kashmir’s Shopian district.
