Bengaluru: After three days of search, forest officials capture leopard roaming in residential areas
Bengaluru: Residents of the upscale apartment complexes near the MS Dhoni Global School, situated on Kudlu Main Road in Bengaluru's IT corridor, have been living in fear due to multiple sightings of a leopard in their vicinity over the past two days.
Disturbing video clips captured by CCTV cameras, depicting the leopard roaming in the basement parking area and elevator lobby of one of the apartments, have circulated widely on social media platforms.
The recurrent appearances of the leopard, especially during nighttime, within the residential premises, raised concerns among the residents, prompting immediate action from the Bengaluru Urban forest officials.
A thorough combing operation was launched to locate and safely rescue the leopard, involving the deployment of over 25 personnel, a team of experienced veterinarians, and skilled sharpshooters equipped to tranquilize the elusive creature.
After an intensive three-day search operation, forest officials successfully captured the leopard in the Bommanahalli industrial area, relieving the residents of the IT corridor from the gripping fear that had enveloped their community.

Assam CM flays Cong for 'not verifying' documents before making charges against his family
Sivasagar/Guwahati (PTI): Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Tuesday slammed the Congress for “not verifying” the documents based on which it brought allegations against him and his family.
Congress leader Pawan Khera had on Sunday alleged that Sarma’s wife, Riniki Bhuyan Sarma, has multiple passports and foreign property, which were not declared in the chief minister’s election affidavit.
Sarma also hit out at Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, claiming that he was “speaking like a madman” due to old age, after the latter put the onus on central agencies to probe the charges.
The CM asserted that Khera had “run away” to Hyderabad, but the Assam Police will “hunt him down even from ‘pataal’ (netherworld)”.
“‘Assam Police ko nahi jante hain.. Pataal se bhi ukhar ke le ayega’ (They don’t know the Assam Police... they will hunt him down even from the netherworld),” asserted Sarma.
An Assam Police team had earlier in the day visited the Delhi residence of Khera for questioning him in connection with the case.
“If they didn’t know the truth, why did they put it out in public? They should have asked the foreign minister first,” Sarma told reporters on the sidelines of an election campaign, when asked for his reaction to Kharge’s assertion that the Union government should probe the allegations now.
Kharge, at a presser in Guwahati on Tuesday, said all agencies are under the central government, which should probe the charges.
"They have already filed an FIR against Khera. Let them probe the matter. We will face the case as it progresses. We have sought probes by the ED or CBI into the allegations," he said.
Sarma added: “Kharge is ageing and is speaking like a ‘pagal’ (madman). You insult the people first and then say will ask the foreign minister (for verification)? Is he your ‘damad’ (son-in-law),” the chief minister said.
“I think Rahul Gandhi had given these documents to Khera, and if that is so, the case will then include Gandhi,” he added.
