MYSURU: Forest department officials successfully caught the leopard which entered Banana Plantain, at Uttanhalli, Chamundi Hills Road, in Mysuru on Tuesday.

The leopard entered the shed of a banana trader Rajanna and attacked one of the dogs and savored it. Later it spent the whole night in the hut itself. Ramakrishna who was fast asleep miraculous escaped after he woke up to find a leopard sleeping beside him.

"I heard some strange sounds near me. First I thought it was my pet dog and then I put out my right hand outside the mosquito net and I ran my hands over the leopard thinking it was my dog. When I opened my eyes, I was shocked to see the leopard sleeping next to me. I managed to run out and called forest department," Ramakrishna said.

Forest department officials reached the spot and captured the leopard. They shifted it to Mysuru Zoo's Chamundi Animal Rescue and Rehabilitation center.

Indore (PTI): Police registered a case against two women corporators of the Congress in Madhya Pradesh's Indore on Wednesday on the charge of disturbing communal harmony for their refusal to sing the national song 'Vande Mataram', an official said.

During the Indore Municipal Corporation's budget session on April 8, Congress corporator Fauzia Sheikh Alim refused to sing 'Vande Mataram' citing Islamic beliefs.

Another corporator, Rubina Iqbal Khan, who joined the Congress after winning the civic election as an independent candidate, also supported Fauzia's stance and refused to sing the national song.

Talking to PTI, Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Amarendra Singh said following a probe into a complaint, a case has been registered against Fauzia and Rubina at the M G Road police station under section 196 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) (acts prejudicial to maintenance of harmony between different communities).

The police summoned both the corporators for questioning over the past two days and recorded their statements, he said.

"Finally, finding the case prima facie cognisable, we have registered an FIR and initiated a detailed investigation," Singh said.
