Leopard strays into house in Mysuru
Mysuru (Karnataka) (PTI): A male leopard strayed into a house here on Friday, triggering panic among residents, forest officials said.
The incident occurred around 10 am at Siddhartha Layout in the city, they said.
According to officials, the leopard, estimated to be around three to four years old, entered the house of a resident identified as Suresh. The animal was found hiding beneath a cot in one of the rooms. Those in the house managed to escape and alerted forest department officials, who rushed to the spot along with veterinarians.
The leopard, suspected to have strayed from the Chamundi Hills or nearby forest areas, was eventually tranquilised. It was later safely shifted to the Mysuru Zoo, a senior forest official said.
