A leopard reportedly attacked a calf in a farm near Maranhol, in Belagavi taluk, at around 10 AM on Saturday, August 29, 2026.
According to a report published early on August 30 by Pudhari, the calf had been left to graze in an agricultural field near a forested area when the leopard attacked. The report also says there was information about a possible attack on a dog.
The incident has created concern among farmers and residents in the Maranhol area, particularly those whose livestock graze near forested stretches. Maranhol is a village in Belagavi taluk, within Belagavi district.
No independent confirmation from the Forest Department was located in the latest search, so details of the animal's movements and any official response should be treated as developing.
