The daughter-in-law died when her granddaughter was 6 months old. The responsibility of taking care of her granddaughter fell on the 81-year-old Kali Khadka of Gularia Municipality-8. 9-year-old Melina Khadka, who was raised in a sad manner, died on Monday morning due to a leopard attack in Gularia Municipality-8 Dumping Side Sarju Community Forest.

``The cannibal leopard did not leave my granddaughter who has grown up,'' she said, sitting in front of the post-mortem room of the hospital.

Remembering the pain of bringing up her granddaughter, she falls down crying . Neighbors try to handle him by sprinkling water and sometimes bringing him to the hose. 

Akriti Khadka of Gularia Municipality-8 Ganganagar tol told that a leopard attacked her at around 8 o'clock on Monday morning when she went to get firewood in the forest near her house. "Five of us went to the forest with Nani," she said, "we were not far away." I didn't see the leopard. Another nanny who went along also saw the leopard.'  

12-year-old Shraddha Khatri, who went to the forest with the leopard, said that even though she shouted 'Bagh ayo bhag bhag' as soon as she saw the leopard, she grabbed it by the neck and took it to the bush. ``The jumping leopard caught Chapp by the neck and ran towards the bush,'' she said. "I came to see my mother's face on Sunday," said Top Bahadur, "I came with my daughter, now how can I return home alone?"
