Residents in a Mumbai neighbourhood are terrified as a leopard roams the streets

Two to three leopard spottings in the Goregaon East area of Mumbai have caused panic among residents who are used to seeing the beast but have got scared of late because of stray incidents of attacks on humans.

Three videos of the wild cat at different locations are circulating on social media, alerting the forest department.

A CCTV grab shows a radio-collared leopard strolling in the Gokuldham housing society before settling down at a place. After some time, it gets up and walks towards a blind spot.

The forest department has identified the leopard as C33-Delta. Forest officials assured the locals that there is no need to panic and that they will patrol the area besides running awareness campaigns.
