This is a true life story of an indian woman who faced death in the aspect of a leopard. Did she survive? Read on
The woman known as Kamla Devi at the age of 56 was fetching water from Uttarakhand state when suddenly a leopard appeared from a nearby bush and pounced on her. All she had with her was a sickle and spade (due to the fact that she was going to her farm) with which she fought the leopard.
The woman (Devi) was carrying water she fetched from a canal to a field of hers near a village known as Sem Nauti in Rudraprayag district when she was attacked on Sunday.
She claimed to have been able to smash some of the leopards teeth after the life battle.
This is what Devi has to say after the battle "I thought I was dead but I did not lose patience and courage.”
“I fought head on with it for almost half an hour. Then I came to know it was dead,” she told reporters after the life battle from where she was hospitalised in the nearby town of Srinagar Garhwal.
The doctors were quite actually very surprised at her survival and had this to say,
"She has two fractures on the right hand and one on the left. She also has deep injuries on her head and legs. There are bite marks all over her body,” said Dr Abdul Rahul, who has been treating her.
"All this happened in a thirty minutes duration. Its a 30minutes battles of life and death. One must occur but it depends on who gets what. Devi got life and the leopard got death."
Her condition is stabilising now.
