An 11-year-old boy was killed after a lion attacked him near the steps of Girnar Hill in Gujarat's Junagadh district on Saturday. The child, identified as Mayur Chauhan, was climbing the hill with his family to visit the Ambaji Temple when he stopped to rest near the 50th step. A lion suddenly emerged from the nearby forest, seized the boy, and dragged him into the woods despite the presence of pilgrims. Forest officials and rescue teams later recovered the child's body. Authorities have launched a search operation and intensified security in the area following the tragic incident. (PC: X)
