Leopard killed after it attacks 8 villagers

MANDAWAR (Haryana): A leopard was beaten to death after it wandered into Mandawar village, 26 km south of Gurugram and injured eight people. The two-and-a-half-year old male sneaked in early in the morning and attacked several people. Injured Sundar Bharadwaj said, "I was tending to my field when the animal attacked me." Police and forest officials came but were unable to catch the animal who was later cornered under a cot in a house. Angered by the attacks, the villagers soon began hitting the animal until it died. They later paraded the corpse through the village and staged a protest and blocked the main road for 15 minutes.
