Chandan Singh Adhikari further added that they are now afraid of venturing out even during day time because they live near the forest and what if the leopard attacks them suddenly from the bushes. He urged forest officials to take immediate steps to capture the big cat. Adhikari's daughter Tapisha said that earlier leopards used to avoid places with the human smell but now they are coming deep inside residential areas, which is a matter of concern because in the future they might also attack people. She added that the main reason behind wild animals coming out of the wild is the rapid shrinking of forest cover which is causing a shortage of food.
