Shivpuri district authorities reported that a stray bull entered the premises of a residence in Bairad village and abruptly charged at 14‑year‑old Saloni Ojha.

Security cameras installed nearby recorded the entire episode, providing clear visual evidence of the sudden assault. Emergency responders arrived promptly, administered first‑aid at the scene, and then transferred the girl to the district hospital for further medical care.
