Leopard Spotted In Bengaluru, Videos Of It Roaming In City Go Viral

The forest officials have initiated an investigation into the leopard sighting claim and are conducting night patrols but no pug marks have been found yet.

Bengaluru news: Residents of Hunasamaranahalli are urging Yelahanka forest officials to take swift action after a video, reportedly filmed by workers at the Yelahanka airbase, surfaced on social media allegedly showing a leopard roaming in the area. This recent sighting follows an earlier one, heightening concerns among the community, especially for the safety of children and women.

A resident of Hunasamaranahalli, Sebastian said that the leopard was sighted on and off from last Sunday, as reported by Karnataka news. He said that the workers managed to record and inform the Yelahanka forest team about the spotting.

Yelahanka Range Forest Officer N. Pushpalatha confirmed that they received reports of leopard sightings near the Yelahanka Rail Wheel Factory. Officials inspected the area on Wednesday but found no pug marks. Talking to Hindustan Times, she said that though the video clearly shows leopard movement it is uncertain when the footage was shot and added that a cage would be installed if further evidence is found. Meanwhile, night patrols have been intensified as a precautionary measure.

The forest department has assured the community that an investigation is underway, and appropriate actions will be taken if additional signs confirm the leopard’s presence in the area.

Last month, a five-year-old leopard spotted crossing a road in Bengaluru's Electronic City—a hub for tech companies—was captured. The leopard reportedly moved from the Panak India Company premises to the Nettur Technical Training Foundation (NTTF) grounds. After CCTV footage of the animal crossing surfaced, residents in the area were placed on high alert. Authorities urged the public not to panic, assuring them that the situation was under control.

In another incident, a leopard was spotted near a house in Chikkathoguru near NICE Road.

However, these incidents highlight the increasing man-animal conflict in the region.
