BAHRAICH, Dec. 7 -- The terror of wolf attacks continues to grip Bahraich district, where a four-month-old boy was killed after being dragged away by the animal from inside his home on the intervening night of Saturday and Sunday. The incident -- marking the ninth child and 11th overall death attributed to wolf attacks in the district in recent months -- occurred around 1:30am in the Mallahan Purwa hamlet of Godhiya No. 3, about 40 kms from the district forest headquarters.

The infant, Subhash, son of Santosh, was sleeping beside his mother, Kiran, when a wolf entered the house and reportedly carried him away. Kiran woke up to the child's screams and ran after the animal, but it disappeared into the darkness within seconds.
