Rising Wolf Terror in Uttar Pradesh: 13-Year-Old Boy Attacked as Government Launches Operation Bhediya

The menace of wolf attacks continues to escalate in Uttar Pradesh, with the latest incident involving a 13-year-old boy who was viciously attacked while sleeping on the terrace of his home in Bahraich district.

The boy, identified as Armaan Ali, was attacked on Sunday night in Pipri Mohan village, Mahsi area. He sustained injuries to his neck during the assault and was promptly taken to a nearby Community Health Center for initial treatment. He was later referred to the Medical College in Bahraich for further care.

This attack is part of a troubling pattern of wolf-related incidents in the region. The crisis began when a pack of six wolves started terrorizing 50 villages across Uttar Pradesh. To date, five of the wolves have been captured, but one remains at large, continuing to pose a threat to local residents.

In response to the growing concern, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath visited Sisaiya Churamani village in Mahsi tehsil on Sunday. During his visit, he met with families affected by the attacks, expressed his condolences, and assured them that the government is taking all necessary measures to address the situation. “We are committed to ensuring the safety of our citizens and will continue operations until the area is fully secure,” Adityanath stated.

The ongoing wolf crisis has resulted in the deaths of 10 children and one woman, with 51 others injured since mid-July. The Uttar Pradesh government has initiated “Operation Bhediya,” a comprehensive effort aimed at capturing the remaining wolf, believed to be the “alpha of the pack.”

To combat the threat, over 165 forest personnel and 18 shooters have been deployed in the area. They are using thermal camera-equipped drones and snap cameras to track the elusive predator. Additionally, the district administration and forest department have installed solar and high-mast lights in vulnerable areas to enhance safety and deter further attacks.
