Last week, a leopard was spotted on the sets of a studio at the Film City in Mumbai which created panic among workers and staff around, news agency PTI reported citing a Maharashtra forest department official said. A partially eaten carcass of a dog has also been found.  A video of the leopard roaming on the sets in Film City in suburban Goregaon has been doing the rounds on social media. 

The incident came to light on Sunday night after which multiple teams of officials visited the site and evaluated the situation, said Pawan Sharma, founder and president of Resqink Association for Wildlife Welfare (RAWW), who is also an honorary wildlife warden with the state forest department. Workers and other staff of the sets panicked due to the attack on the dog, Sharma said.

The sprawling Film City is located on the boundary of the Sanjay Gandhi National Park, which is home to leopards, and also abuts the Aarey Milk Colony, a forest area within Mumbai.
