A leopard which had entered a residential area in western India’s Maharashtra’s state, was finally rescued after two hours.

Footage showed police officers carrying a sack with the tranquilised leopard on top of it.

Earlier, chaos ensured after the leopard was seen in a residential area. The predator was seen frequenting inside a densely populated area in Marol, located in Andheri (east).

CCTV footages showed a lone leopard running.

Leopards are seen frequenting residential areas from time to time in Maharashtra as the forest in the state plays home to these animals.
