PUNE: A leopard hiding in a sugarcane field killed a five-year-old girl, who went out to give water to her grandfather working in a farm 300 metres from their house in Pimparkhed village in Shirur taluka, about 75km from Pune, Sunday, reports Alim Shaikh.
Shivanya Nilesh Bombe sustained severe injuries to her neck and hand. She was rushed to Manchar civil hospital , where doctors declared her "dead on arrival".
Ganesh Bombe, her uncle, told reporters: "Shivanya's grandfather, Arun, saw the attack. He tried to save her, but the leopard had already inflicted serious injuries before disappearing into the fields."
The girl's parents are farmers. They have another daughter, younger to Shivanya. Family members said they saw leopards in the area before, and their dog was attacked around two weeks ago. This is the second death in a leopard attack in Shirur this year.
