On Thursday night also a child was injured in the same village.
Sangam Lal, 8-year-old son of Kalal Yadav, resident of Golava Mauja Yadavpur in the rural Kotwali area of Bahraich, was standing at the door of his house late on Thursday night when the wolf attacked him.
Hearing the screams, the wolf ran away but the boy got injured and received wound marks on its face. The family took him to the medical college where he is undergoing treatment.
Forest data showed that the wolves killed 10 people, mostly children in the past 3 months, in Mahshi tehsil of Bahriach.
