The forest department in Bahraich, Uttar Pradesh has captured five man-eating wolves so far, yet their reign of terror continues. On the night of September 10th, the last remaining ferocious 'Limp Sardar' wolf attacked two villages, severely injuring two 11-year-old girls. They have been admitted to different hospitals for treatment.
The forest department team caught the fifth wolf on September 10th. However, the lone wolf left behind staged an attack on two girls late at night. The predator targeted Suman from Goderen Purva, aged 11, and Shivani from Khairighat. Suman is being treated at Bahraich District Hospital, while Shivani is admitted to CHC Mahasi. Instances of increased aggression among these wolves have been noted whenever a member of their pack is captured. This was seen again when a female wolf was captured on Tuesday, leading the male wolf to launch an attack later that night.
Officials from the forest department in Bahraich have stated that the fifth wolf was captured near the Ghaghra River close to Harbanspur village under the ongoing 'Operation Wolf' campaign in Mahasi Tehsil. This campaign aims to capture a pack of six wolves which has taken eight lives and injured over 20 people since July.

Divisional Forest Officer Ajit Pratap Singh informed a news agency that the fifth man-eating wolf was caught near the Ghaghra River close to Harbanspur village. He mentioned, "Only the leader of the pack, 'Limp Sardar', remains. We hope to capture him soon."
Officials reported that on Monday night, the forest department teams found wolf footprints in the area. Unable to carry out the operation at night, four teams arrived in the morning and surrounded the area. The wolf attempted to flee but was caught in a trap set by the forest department. With the help of local villagers, the forest workers managed to capture the wolf and place it in a cage.
