In the Betalghat block of Nainital district, a disabled woman named Jayanti Devi demonstrated remarkable courage when a leopard entered her house while chasing a pet dog. The incident occurred late on Sunday night in Talli Sethi village. Despite her physical limitations, Devi managed to shut and lock the door of the room where the leopard had taken refuge, preventing the animal from freely roaming the house.
She then alerted her neighbors and contacted the forest department to handle the situation. Upon learning about the leopard’s presence, villagers gathered outside the house and informed forest officials. A team from the forest department arrived, led by ranger Manoj Bhagat, and tranquilized the leopard, allowing them to safely remove the animal from the house and transport it to a rescue center.
The rescue operation brought relief to the residents, who had gathered to witness the event. However, further details about the leopard’s condition following the rescue were not immediately available. The incident has reignited concerns about leopard activity near residential areas in the Betalghat region, with residents of nearby villages expressing worries about leopard attacks on domestic animals.
