New Delhi: Panic spread among people after leopard was seen in Sainik Farm, a high profile area of the capital Delhi. Simultaneously, a crowd of people started gathering in the area. As soon as the information was received, apart from the team of Delhi Police, Forest Department, Wildlife, the team of security guards deployed by RWA also reached the spot. A team of 40 people has been trying to catch the leopard for several hours by setting two traps inside the forest.
According to the information, seeing the crowd of people, the leopard entered the forest near Sainik Farm. At the same time, Forest Department employee Subodh said that two teams have just arrived and investigation is being done. The leopard that has been seen is of full size weighing 80 to 90 kg. At present, our team is trying to catch the leopard by setting two traps inside the forest.
QRT team member Indrapal said that information about the leopard was received in the morning. When we reached the spot, we also saw a leopard. During this time, suddenly the leopard started running behind me, so I somehow saved my life by running away. However, teams of police, forest department and wildlife have reached the spot. Efforts are being made to catch the leopard which had fled towards the forest.
Let us tell you that a few days ago, in a mango orchard in Meerut adjacent to Delhi, children mistook a leopard cub for a kitten and started playing with it. Made him run here and there on the ground a lot. Then a rope was tied around his neck and he was taken around the garden. Meanwhile, when the person guarding the garden reached there, he was surprised to see the sight. Then this information was given to the villagers and the leopard cub was handed over to the forest department team.
