Leopard enters cowshed, kills cattle in Belthangady, locals fear for safety
Belthangady: A leopard attack on a cow in Nerthane village, Dharmasthala, has left residents in fear for their safety. The incident occurred in the shed near the owner's house and was discovered on Tuesday morning.
The cow's owner, Thresamma PK, is an Asha worker and micro farmer who also works in animal husbandry. Her home is located close to the jungle, which has seen several incidents of leopard and elephant attacks in recent times.
The villagers are concerned about the safety of their crops and their own lives, especially after a similar incident in Dumbettu village of Mundaje, where a leopard killed dogs. As Dumbettu is situated near Nerthane, locals suspect that the same leopard is responsible for both attacks.
Residents are living in constant fear of wild animals, unable to leave their homes at night or before dawn due to fear.

KKR defeat LSG via Super Over
Lucknow (PTI): Kolkata Knight Riders edged Lucknow Super Giants via Super Overs in a battle between two bottom-placed teams in the IPL, here on Sunday.
Chasing a modest 156, LSG suffered a batting collapse and managed to tie the contest and take it to Super Over with No. 9 Mohammed Shami striking a last-ball six against a wayward Kartik Tyagi, who leaked 16 runs in the final over.
But Sunil Narine bowled a stunning Super Over conceding just one run and taking two wickets to give KKR an easy target.
Rinku Singh then finished the chase with a boundary off first ball from Prince Yadav.
Earlier the KKR were in deep trouble with 93/7 in 15 overs but Rinku smashed a sensational 83 not out from 51 balls including four sixes in a row in the final over to lift them to 155/7.
Cameron Green (34) was the only other batter to reach double-digit scores as KKR suffered a familiar batting meltdown with Mohsin taking his maiden fifer.
In reply, LSG continued their dismal show with the bat to succumb to their fifth loss in a row.
Brief Scores:
Kolkata Knight Riders 155/7; 20 overs (Rinku Singh 83 not out, Cameron Green 34; Mohsin Khan 5/23). Lucknow Super Giants 155/8; 20 overs (Rishabh Pant 42). KKR won via Super Over.
