This happened in Santoshpura village, Pilibhit district on May 15.

Visuals showed the leopard running through a field as villagers gathered at the area and watched the animal. They were also seen running after it following a while.

It reportedly attacked a man named Harishankar and then Dorilal. Both were admitted to the district hospital. Also, this attack by the wild animal spread panic in the area.
