Leopard that roamed Nagpur stealthily ‘goes back to biodiversity park’

The press note added, “But on June 6, our team in the biodiversity park behind Ambazari lake found pug marks as well as trap camera photo of a leopard. We have also found four wild pigs which were killed. In our opinion, this is the same leopard that had possibly come to the city.”

The press note, however, says that Forest department teams will continue to maintain vigil in the city.

The leopard’s presence in the city was established through two eye-witness accounts from residents of Gayatri Nagar, near IT park. It was confirmed by CCTV footage of an IT park company.

Hada had earlier told The Indian Express that unclear pugmarks were found in one of the two houses in Gayatri Nagar, where the house owners had claimed to have seen the leopard on their premises before it jumped off into the premises of adjoining National Power Training Institute. Unclear pugmarks were also seen in the nullah near Maharajbagh Zoo.
