"Tea plucker injured in leopard attack in Assam's Dibrugarh district"
DIBRUGARH: A labourer of Tamulbari tea estate in the Lahowal area of Dibrugarh district was injured after being attacked by a leopard while she was plucking leaves on Wednesday morning.
Minu Majhi sustained several deep wounds and was admitted to Assam Medical College and Hospital.
She said, "I was plucking tea leaves when the leopard leaped on me from behind a fallen tree. I turned my head and the claws of the leopard hit me on my back below my neck. There were four deep injuries. I was a little away from the rest of my co-workers who were also plucking tea leaves. No one else was attacked. The leopard disappeared among the tea bushes after that."
