Some villagers spotted the leopard roaming outside the forest area in Iklera. At first, the villagers got scared, but soon surrounded him when they noticed that the animal was lethargic and not aggressive, reported news agency IANS.

As per the agency, a team of forest guards reached the spot after receiving information and rescued the leopard to a safe place.

According to a forest guard, the leopard was wandering in the forest in a dizzy condition.
