A week back, the IFS Officer even posted a video of a leopard attacking three people. In the video, a leopard could be seen suddenly jumping out from a pit. After coming out, it started chasing people in the crowd who stood there shocked.  As soon as it was out, it pounced on a person from behind and tried to suppress it. The big cat then leaves that person and turns around to pounce on two other people. 

Susanta also expressed his displeasure on Twitter and wrote, "A horrendous rescue. Crowd control is half the problem in man-animal conflicts like this. They had no business to be there.” He also goes on to describe that the leopard acted purely out of natural instinct and was not at fault.
