Two women who ventured into a forest in search of dry grass climbed a tree after spotting a leopard in the north Indian state of Uttarakhand, which led to one of them being trapped and accidentally electrocuted.

The incident took place in Pauri, Pauri Garhwal district on March 3.

According to local reports, one of the women got stuck up in the tree, which was touching a live electrical wire from a nearby line, and had to be rescued by police.

Video footage shows the women entangled in the electrical wire being rescued by police personnel.

The rescued woman was rushed to a nearby hospital after suffering mild electrocution.
