An official said out of a pack of six wolves, four have already been captured by the forest department under 'Operation Bhediya'.
At least eight people, including seven children and a woman, have so far died in wolf attacks in Uttar Pradesh's Bahraich over the past two months. An official said out of a pack of six wolves, four have already been captured by the forest department under 'Operation Bhediya'.
With residents anticipating more attacks by the two wolves that remain at large, officials have now started using soft toys soaked in children's urine as bait to capture them.
"Since these animals have primarily been targeting children, we have introduced large soft toys dressed in colourful clothes, soaked in children's urine, to create a false sense of human presence near the traps. The natural human scent may attract the wolves closer to the traps," Divisional Forest Officer Ajit Pratap Singh told the news agency PTI.
