A fresh leopard sighting at Tirumala Dev Gutta hillock has triggered panic in Mahabubnagar, just days after forest officials captured a leopard that had eluded them for nearly three months. The earlier animal was shifted to Nehru Zoological Park for medical checks.
A leopard was spotted near Vaddepally village in Siddipet’s Raipole mandal, prompting fear among farmers. Forest officials confirmed the presence through pug marks and urged caution. Villagers requested the leopard be captured and relocated to a forested area.
Motorists said a leopard crossed the national highway at a temple near Dilawarpur mandal headquarters. They recorded a video of the wild animal using their mobile phones
