An elderly man has died after being attacked by his own ox in Bardiya district.

The incident took place on Sunday morning in Thakurbaba Municipality–5, Shahipur, where 67-year-old Khalak Bahadur Tharu was fatally gored by an ox he had raised at home.

According to Ward Chairperson Shambhu Prasad Tharu, the ox had broken free from its tether and had wandered nearly 1 kilometer away from the house. It was later found in the premises of the Basanta Area Forest Office.

“He had gone to retrieve the ox with a rope,” said Chairperson Tharu. “Since the place was isolated and far from home, no one witnessed the attack. He died on the spot.”

Local residents who were grazing goats nearby saw his body and informed others. “I’m currently at the scene as well,” added the ward chairperson. “Police are recording the details and completing necessary procedures.”
