Wolf attacks claim 1-year-old in Bahraich, bringing death toll to 12
A one-year-old girl named Arvi was killed early Saturday morning when a wolf entered her family's home in Bahraich's Kaiserganj forest area and dragged her away.
Despite desperate attempts by her mother and family members to save her, the wolf managed to flee.
This heartbreaking attack is part of a troubling spike in wolf incidents across the region.
Ongoing search for Arvi; authorities respond as attacks rise
Forest teams quickly tracked down and shot a five-year-old male wolf using drones, but Arvi's body hasn't been found yet.
Just days earlier, another baby was killed in a nearby village.
Since September, wolves have killed 12 people—10 of them children—and injured over 30 others in Bahraich.
The government had already ordered action against wolves after previous attacks, but the threat continues to shift across villages.
