Bhopal, June 5

The mystery surrounding the recent unknown animal bite incidents appears to be nearing resolution with the discovery of a jackal carcass near Limbai village in Rajpur tehsil of Barwani district.

While this revelation may bring some clarity, fear continues to grip Sendhwa village following a new wave of animal attacks on Wednesday.

Residents remain anxious about their safety despite medical confirmation that the latest incident involved a dog and not a wild animal.

Eight persons were attacked and severely bitten, four of whom were transferred to Maharaja Yashwant Rao Holkar Medical College and Hospital in Indore for further treatment.

Photographs of wounded children raise questions about whether a dog could have inflicted such severe injuries. Four new patients have arrived in Indore for treatment following an animal attack in Kermala, Varla tehsil of Barwani district.

The victims include Ritika, aged four, Kajal, also four, Rishika, seven, and Aarti, 45. Their families describe the incident as deeply unsettling, and an eerie silence now hangs over the village, even during the day.

According to relatives, the attack occurred on Wednesday, June 4, when an unidentified animal suddenly targeted the victims.
