According to eyewitnesses, the big cat was lying on the road for an hour with serious injuries. However, no one approached it due to fear.<\/p>\n
The forest department was also not alerted of the incident on time, officials said.<\/p>\n
The vehicle that hit the leopard fled the scene.<\/p>\n
A video shows officials wrapping the leopard’s body with a piece of cloth and leaves.<\/p>\n
Police said that the big cat’s body has been taken away and they are on the lookout for the vehicle.<\/p>\n
A similar incident took place earlier this month when a leopard died after being hit by a speeding vehicle on the Delhi-Meerut Expressway. The incident took place on January 16 near Kashi Toll Plaza in Meerut district. In 2023, another leopard was killed after it was hit by a speeding car in Ghaziabad.<\/p>\n
Many incidents of leopard spotting inside cities have been reported in the past few months.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Earlier this month, a leopard entered a resident society in Haryana’s Sohna and was safely captured after a four-hour-long rescue operation. According to officials, the big cat t likely entered the society through the basement parking area in search of food or to escape territorial conflicts with other leopards.<\/p>\n
