#leopard #Bangalore #Bannerghatta A leopard had dropped in on a school in Bengaluru - it was subsequently tranquilized and sent back to the forest. The incident happened in Bengaluru's Vibgyor school and the animal was finally caught and taken to the Bannerghatta rescue center.
This has been reported in ibnlive.com dated 8 February 2016.

The forest officials and police teams struggled to capture the leopard that had entered the school and was prowling in the campus for hours. It attacked four persons and injured them - one of them was a veterinarian. The feline was ultimately tranquilized after a day long operation, and the injured were shifted to a nearby hospital.
The leopard was first spotted by CCTV cameras inside the school early morning and the authorities immediately informed forest officials and police who rushed to the spot. During the day, it had escaped from the school premises and had been hiding in nearby bushes and later re-entered the school building by scaling a compound wall.
It was a wonderful opportunity for a sensational TV news and television channels gathered at the spot to cover the operation. AS a result, the police had a hard time controlling the crowd.
