In a separate incident, panic gripped the Daund area of Pune district after a woman claimed that her 11-month-old son, Anvit Bhise, was taken by a leopard while they were sleeping on a farm early Wednesday morning. The family resides in a small village nearby.
A large-scale search was launched throughout the day by forest department teams and Wildlife SOS volunteers. However, no evidence—such as pug marks or other signs of leopard presence—was found during the operation.
“We will carry out the operation on Thursday and asked the police to file a missing complaint in this regard,” said a forest official.
