The victims, including a 15-year-old boy, sustained injuries and have been admitted to Beedar district hospital for advanced treatment. Two of the injured are in critical condition.
The attacks occurred in villages such as Allur (B) and Jojana, where victims were assaulted from behind, suffering injuries to the head, ear, back, and chest areas. Rukmini Bai Metre of Allur (B) and Lalamma Kamble of Jojana were among those attacked while working in the fields.
In Jeerga (B) village, Mangala Swamy was attacked while returning home from the fields. Upon hearing her cries, her husband, Sharanayya Swamy, rushed to the scene and chased the wild boar away. Locals also reported that a 15-year-old boy from the same village was attacked and injured.
