Veraval: A 60-year-old farmer killed a leopard with a sickle and a spear to save himself and his son after the wild animal attacked them in Gujarat’s Gir Somnath district, officials said on Thursday. A leopard emerged from the nearby fields and jumped on Vaja without any provocation, said Range Forest Officer L B Bharwad. “Upon hearing my cries, my son Shardul rushed to save me. When I tried to save Shardul, the leopard jumped on me again. The senior citizen said he grabbed a sickle and a spear kept in the verandah and managed to kill the wild animal.
