🐆 Growing Leopard Threat Creates Panic in the Village
Following the dog’s disappearance, panic has spread throughout the village. The primary reason behind this fear is the continuous sighting and movement of a leopard in the area.
Local residents strongly believe that indiscriminate and ongoing forest cutting has destroyed the natural habitat of wild animals. As a result, leopards and other wildlife are now entering residential areas, posing a serious threat not only to domestic animals but also to human lives.
Villagers report hearing leopard movements and sounds during night hours, which has intensified fear among residents. Many now fear that Craks Namak Dog may have fallen prey to the leopard, a possibility that has deeply shaken the family and the entire locality.

😢 Family in Deep Distress
Speaking emotionally, family members shared:
“Our dog was the soul of our home. For three years, we raised it with love like a child. Without the dog, the house feels empty. We are extremely worried that something terrible may have happened.”
Veliston and Samiksha are continuously searching nearby areas, approaching neighbors and locals for information, but no trace of the dog has been found so far.
