On Tuesday night, a leopard was spotted near the front door of Ramadasa Bhandari’s house in Karinakatte, located within the Molahalli forest range. The chilling moment was recorded on CCTV.

Early Wednesday, reports emerged of more leopard sightings near Garikemath and Sirimath in the same region. With the predators frequently approaching homes in search of food, villagers are growing increasingly anxious.

In response, villagers have urged forest department authorities to act quickly.

Forest officials from the Molahalli range have already visited the area and have set up traps in an effort to capture the leopards and restore safety of the villagers.
