Wild jackal attacks two in Jhakhand's Ramgarh, killed

A wild jackal was allegedly killed after it attacked two persons in Jhakhand’s Ramgarh district, officials said on Saturday.

The jackal entered a hostel for railway trainees in Patratu on Friday. It attacked two trainees who were admitted to a local hospital with serious injuries, they said.

Divisional Forest Officer Nitish Kumar said the jackal was killed after it attacked the two trainees.

'The Forest Department would investigate that if the animal was killed in self-defence. If the investigation finds that the jackal was killed to safeguard human life, no legal action would be taken,' he said.
