Startled to see the leopard just a few meters away, the teacher halted his bike. The leopard remained calm and crossed the road without showing any aggression. Taking precautions, the teacher backed up a few meters and joined other commuters heading in the same direction. He later informed the villagers about the encounter once he reached the school.
