They said that the leopard attacked the man, Mushtaq Ahmad Bhat son of Mohammad Ramzan Bhat in the morning when he was heading towards his orchard. Bhat managed to escape from the animal and was later shifted by locals to CHC Sumbal for treatment of minor injuries.

Dr. Muzzaffar Khan at CHC told Global News Service that the patient was received with minor injuries and his condition is stable.

Meanwhile, locals have appealed to the concerned Wildlife department to depute the team to catch the roaming leopard.

When contacted, a Wildlife official told the news agency that a team is on its way to the village.
