We work as labourers all day and raise the children. We ran after that him but it escaped. We are poor so we are not able to get doors installed in the housem," she said.

Spotted the wolf

Her neighbour said that they had spotted the wolf many times, but whenever they called the forest department, they ask for video proof.

"We were awake. When he (wolf) first came to our house, we thought it was a dog, so we shouted and chased it away. Afterwards, I saw that it ran towards field, so I shouted and asked if anyone's child was missing. Then they said that their daughter is missing. We surrounded it in the field the day before yesterday and when we called the forest department, they asked us for the video. Where do we get the video from? We are repeatedly complaining that we have seen the wolf. By the time we take out the mobile, it disappears," he said.
