A 35-year-old woman was mauled to death allegedly by a leopard while she was collecting fodder for her cattle in a forested area in this district, officials said on Friday.

According to forest range officer Dushyant Kumar, Suman (35) from Chaudheri village went to the forest on Thursday evening and did not return.

A search was initiated and her partially eaten body was found in a field at night.
