Panic has spread among the residents of Bahraich due to the continuous attacks by wolves. From locals to the forest department and the entire administration, everyone is trying to capture these wolves. A team of experts is investigating their attack patterns and the reasons behind them. Additionally, they are also searching for the wolves' dens. Amidst all this, the AajTak team arrived at a place claimed to have been home to a family of wolves.
Yes, in the village of Ramuapur in Bahraich, the den of man-eating wolves has been found. After traversing through thick sugarcane fields and going about 2 kilometers inside, the den was discovered. This den, now filled with water, was once six feet deep. The villagers claim that a whole clan of wolves used to live in this den.
Den Found Among Sugarcane Fields
After passing through fields and going about two kilometers inside, the wolves' den appeared. Villagers claim that wolf cubs were often seen here. Now, these dens are filled with floodwater. Although wolf cubs have not been seen around for quite some time, adult wolves can still be spotted. When a long stick was inserted into the den, it went six feet deep.
Water Filled Within the Den
This indicates the wolves' den was six feet deep. It is now flooded, and the entire family of the man-eating animal has disappeared. Munje bushes have grown over the den. These bushes are used by villagers to make the roofs of their houses. Villagers speculated that the cubs might have died in the flood, prompting the wolves to seek revenge.

Wolves Taking Revenge on Humans
Sanjay Pathak, General Manager of UP Forest Corporation, told AajTak that wolves have a tendency to seek revenge. If someone harms their home or cubs, they retaliate against humans. The ongoing attacks in Bahraich focus mainly on human children. So far, 8 children have lost their lives in wolf attacks.
Villagers Claiming Cubs Were Swept Away in Floods
Wildlife experts believe that humans might have harmed the wolf cubs in some way, leading the wolves to target humans, especially children. With the den in Ramuapur being discovered and villagers claiming that the cubs died due to floodwaters, it appears the wolves are avenging this loss as well.
