Tanahun man fights and takes rogue cheetah under control

Kumal heard the cry of a woman while he took his cattle out for grazing this morning. A woman had been yelling for help as the wild animal was hovering around her.

He fought with the rogue cheetah and got hold of its leg and head. After fighting for around two minutes, Kumal’s brother Bhesh Bahadur also reached the site, and Kumal, with his brother, took the cheetah under control.

Chief of Division Forest Office, Tanahu, Komal Raj Kafle, said they received the information about the incident and a team was dispatched to the incident site.

A total of 10 children have lost their lives to cheetah attack in Tanahun in two years.
