- Two more leopards spotted near a private school in Bengaluru
- Vibgyor school shut today as a precautionary measure
- A leopard entered school premises on February 7 before being tranquilised
Two days after a leopard entered a private school near Varthur in Bengaluru, two more were spotted near the same school on Tuesday.
The Vibgyor school administration declared an off on Wednesday as a precautionary measure after big cats were spotted in the area late on Tuesday evening.
"I have confirmation of one leopard being spotted, but people residing in the area are saying they have spotted two in and around Vibgyor school," a forest official said.
On February 7, a leopard had entered Vibgyor school and had injured three forest department personnel, including a veterinarian, before it was tranquilised after a day long operation.
Forest personnel are likely to launch operations to nab the wild beast today as, according to a forest official, "it was very difficult to carry out any operation at night."
Officials are asking the residents to follow safety measures by tightly locking doors and windows of their homes and apartments, he said.
