According to the available information recently a wild boar was killed by a person at Vathadev when it entered the locality and injured a cow. On Thursday morning a wild boar entered a cowshed belonging to one Vaze at Vathadev. After seeing the human presence it ran out and started injuring a cow who was grazing at some distance. The tussle lasted for some time and the cow eventhough injured succeeded in taking the boar near the fencing. As the tussle between the two was going on a passer-by noticed the seriousness of the problem and without wasting a minute he hit the boar with a huge stone. The boar was at last killed even as the cow was injured in the incident
