After the death of a student, the police started conducting awarness campaign to the public on how to avoid the man-animal conflict which is quite frequently reported in Mysuru and Mandya districts.

They are also keeping a close watch on the sensitive areas to avoid any untoward events. They have also insisted people to not walk alone in the late evening or early mornings since leopards are likely to roam at those hours.

The incident reportedly took place in a forest area in a hillock.
