The incident occurred yesterday in the village of Tuped. The leopard attacked Sarita Yogi, daughter of Nepalese labourer Devendra Yogi, and dragged her to a nearby forest area, Divisional Forest Officer (Bageshwar) A K Sharma said.
Sarita's mutilated body was recovered this morning and handed over to her relatives after a postmortem, Sharma said.
