A jackal unleashed terror in Bikramganj town, Rohtas district, on Friday night, attacking approximately 15 people. The incident created a four-hour-long atmosphere of fear near Dumraon Road and Tenduli Chowk. A youth named Chandrashekhar sustained severe injuries after the jackal bit his lip, while a woman sitting outside her house was also targeted.

Around 7:30 PM on Friday, a jackal emerged from a field onto the road near Bikramganj's Dumraon Road and Tenduli Chowk. It first attacked Surendra Shah, a vendor selling roasted snacks. Subsequently, the jackal chased and bit passersby, then entered a nearby neighborhood alley. There, it sniffed a woman sitting outside her house, moved on, and then returned to attack her. More than a dozen people, including Satish Kumar of Chandan Dresses, were injured.

Chandrashekhar, who had gone to buy vegetables, was severely wounded when the jackal attacked his face and badly bit his lip. He has been admitted to a private hospital. A total of 15 people were injured, with 5 reported to be in serious condition. All injured individuals were taken to the Sub-Divisional Hospital, Bikramganj.

The incident occurred in the Dumraon Road area under the Bikramganj police station. Local residents collectively beat the jackal to death. Upon receiving information, a Forest Department team arrived at the scene and took custody of the deceased jackal. A post-mortem will be conducted to determine if the jackal was infected with rabies or if its behavior was abnormal due to any other reason.

Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) Dilip Kumar inspected the incident site and visited the Sub-Divisional Hospital to inquire about the treatment of the injured. He instructed the hospital administration to provide proper treatment and medicines to all injured individuals on a priority basis. The administration has increased vigilance in the area and advised people to stay away from wild animals.
