Exhibiting amazing courage, a woman from Uttarakhand's Rudraprayag district fended herself from a leopard and escaped with serious injuries on Sunday.
The struggle lasted for an hour, when 54-year-old Kamla Devi in an act of self-defence managed to grievously injure the leopard with a sickle.
Despite suffering three fractures and deep cuts, a determined Kamla valiantly fought off the spotted cat and also walked about one km all by herself to reach her village before she found help.

Kamala Devi is the epitome of courage - Salutations to her :clap:
An extraordinary woman whose instinct for survival has seen no parallel in recent years!
Hope she recovers from her injuries soon...
