Panic gripped residents of the Kudlu Gate locality in Bengaluru near Whitefield after a leopard was reportedly spotted in the area. The residents explain that they are afraid to come out of their houses and are forced to carry a cane to have a sense of security while moving around.
The movement of a leopard at the car garage, apartment premises, near the lift, compound, and parking lot area was captured on the CCTV in the wee hours of October 29. It was also spotted by local residents and beat police.
Though the forest department officers launched a search operation, the wild beast could not be found. Taking no chances, the forest department has placed cages at multiple points and advised people not to venture out at night.
