On Friday night, guards spotted the leopard from a watchtower near the boundary wall. The forest department was informed, and all residents inside the campus were alerted.

Although the forest personnel did not see the leopard themselves, they said that since it was now confined to a limited area, the chances of trapping it had increased.htc...
