A woman from Plamudi claims she was attacked by animal in broad daylight
People in multiple wards of two local bodies along the eastern suburbs of the district remain in the grip of fear over what is suspected to be a leopard on the loose.
The first incident was reported from Plamudi, a ward in Kottapady panchayat, around three weeks ago when the remains of a dog were left behind by an unidentified creature that attacked it. At least three more incidents were reported in quick succession including that of a lady who claimed to have been mauled by what she vouched was a leopard in broad daylight.
People are definitely in a state of fear as the ward remains in the neighbourhood of forest, said Saramma John, member of Plamudi ward.
