Voice 9, News Desk: In the middle of the night, some areas in Arambagh have reportedly been invaded by a vicious-looking animal. The goat's neck or other bodily parts are then cut off. In this occurrence, perhaps 15 to 20 goats have already perished. And in the dead of night, several villages' residents are quaking in terror at this unidentified beast. The inhabitants are living in terror even during the day as the evening comes to a close.
A number of villages in Arambagh's Gourhati-2 and Salepur-2 gram panchayats have developed a dread of unidentified creatures.
People said, "The
goat's neck or other bodily parts are then cut off. In this incident, perhaps
15 to 20 goats have already been killed. Also lost was a calf."
Some people said the
creature was a hyena. Others remarked that they resembled bears. They are
afraid to leave the house after dark, a local resident stated. The predicament
is dire. Windows and doors must always be shut. Some have witnessed it. Large
and hairy. Nobody even acknowledged that it was dark.
Arambagh forest ranger
Ashraful Islam stated that teams were being deployed to the area to investigate
the situation. If the villagers' account is accurate, it may also be an Indian
wolf or a hyena. However, he claimed that without conducting an initial
investigation, nothing could be said.
