While comfortably seated on a sofa at 7:30 am, engaged with a phone, an unexpected visitor entered the room. To everyone’s surprise, it wasn’t a human but a leopard. This unsettling incident occurred in Malegaon, Nashik, Maharashtra, within a residential complex. The wild animal entered a room, oblivious to a boy sitting near the door. The 13-year-old’s encounter with the leopard was captured on a room’s surveillance camera.
Remaining composed, the boy didn’t scream but calmly got off the sofa, closed the door, and exited the room. Widely shared on social media, the video has garnered praise for the boy’s quick analysis and brave actions, averting a potential tragedy by safely locking the leopard inside.
Upon hearing about the leopard, rescue teams were summoned to capture the animal. Local officials successfully tranquilized the leopard, securing it in a cage.
