There was a great commotion this morning when a leopard was suddenly spotted in the densely populated Bhandevadi area of the Pardhi locality in Nagpur. A young child playing outside saw the leopard in the building and immediately informed his family. After the child's cries, neighbors also saw the leopard's movements, and soon a crowd gathered in the area. According to the information received, the leopard had entered the second floor of a house. Locals believe that spotting a leopard so close in the central residential area of a large city like Nagpur is extremely shocking. Meanwhile, upon receiving the information, Pardhi police promptly arrived at the scene. Subsequently, the forest department was also notified.
The forest department team arrived at the scene within minutes, and efforts are underway to bring the situation under control. A tranquilizer gun is being used to safely capture the leopard by calming it down with an injection. The operation has become more complicated as the leopard is tightly trapped inside the house and the crowd in the area has increased. The sudden sighting of the leopard has frightened the local residents, and the police and forest department have urged people not to come out of their homes. Security guards have been deployed in the area, and police and volunteers are working to prevent any accidents in the crowd.
In the state, the increasing leopard attacks and movement in areas near the city have become a serious issue, and the sighting of a leopard in the dense locality of Nagpur is considered a concerning event. The forest department's preliminary estimate is that the leopard might have come to the Bhandevadi locality in search of food or due to increased movements near the forest. Meanwhile, the rescue team is making efforts to safely capture the leopard. Once captured, the leopard is likely to be relocated to a safe place in the forest. The forest department has urged citizens not to spread rumors and to remain calm until official instructions are issued.
