Leopard attack causes severe injuries

The leopard was spotted for the first time around 4:00 in the morning in Jagatpur village of Burari. According to reports, the situation escalated when the leopard attacked between ten to twelve people, causing severe injuries. Immediate action was taken, and the injured individuals were promptly transported to a nearby hospital for medical attention.

In an attempt to save its life, the leopard sought refuge in a house where a family was sleeping. Upon hearing the commotion, the family bravely trapped the leopard inside the house.

Residents have expressed frustration with the forest department's response, as, despite continuous calls for several hours, no decisive action has been taken. Currently, there is a shortage of resources, including firefighting equipment, to rescue the trapped leopard. The Forest Department team has arrived at Jagatpur village, and residents are being evacuated from their homes to ensure the safe removal of the leopard.
