In the harrowing CCTV footage now going viral across social media platforms, a wild leopard is seen sprinting directly toward an unsuspecting man before aggressively leaping onto him. Within seconds, the big cat forces its way inside the store, cornering and mauling the terrified individual near the counter.

Though deeply startled and shocked by the sudden attack, the man demonstrates extraordinary composure by backing away from the predator. As the disoriented animal searches for cover beneath a nearby table, the man swiftly dashes out to safety.

“I somehow pushed the leopard away and ran towards the exit,” 25-year-old Sanjay Gurjar, the man who fought off the leopard, told the Sun.

He added, “As I ran, I pulled the shutter down. Then I lost consciousness.”

The other man who was attacked is identified as 40-year-old Fateh Lal Koli. Reportedly, a third man was attacked by the same leopard.

How was it rescued?

The five-year-old male leopard triggered a five-hour operation. Finally, it was tranquilised using a dart by wildlife specialists.
