Panic as leopard strolls around town
An Indian city has been terrified by a leopard on the loose.
Schools and colleges have been shut in Meerut, a city of 3.5 million people, which is a two-hour drive from the capital, Delhi.
The animal found its way into a hospital and was locked in a room for a few hours before it escaped, reports carried by the BBC said.
The animal then sneaked into the premises of a cinema hall before entering an apartment block.
Large numbers of policemen have been deployed and wildlife experts have been called in to help capture the animal.
“We are yet to locate the leopard. We have got calls from some areas but are still unable to trace its exact location,” a district forest officer said.
Officials are investigating reports that it had strayed into Meerut from nearby forests.
