A wild buffalo attack in Tezpur, Assam, left two people dead and two injured, and forest officials said they had contacted a rescue team from Kaziranga National Park to help tranquilize the animal. Reports noted that the buffalo had moved into a swamp area, making it difficult to track, so the search and capture effort was still ongoing.
The attack happened on a Monday morning in the Jahajghat area of Tezpur, where one victim was killed during a walk and others were injured before the animal moved away. Authorities described it as a sudden and deadly encounter that triggered an urgent response from forest teams.Forest officials said the animal’s exact location was unclear because of the swamp terrain, so they brought in specialized personnel and veterinary support to try to locate and safely capture it. Rescue teams remained on standby to prevent another attack.
