A leopard strayed into a local court complex and attacked several people today in Uttar Pradesh's Ghaziabad.
Many were injured in the leopard attack at the district court, news agency ANI reported.
Visuals uploaded by Twitter users on the microblogging website show some injured people being taken away from the court compound.
In one of the videos, the leopard is seen staring at people, mostly policemen and lawyers, as it stands behind a metal gate somewhere inside the court complex.
It is not clear whether the video is of the leopard being trapped after the attack or of the big cat still roaming free at the court complex.
Leopards are common around the jungles in the National Capital Region, or NCR.
The police and forest department personnel took over four hours to rescue the leopard, news agency PTI reported. The rescue team managed to control the situation once the big cat returned to the ground floor.
"The two collapsible gates on either sides of the ground floor were closed to confine the animal. Once this was done, some of our teams focused on rescuing people locked inside offices and washrooms of the building," a police officer said.
He said two lawyers and a head constable were among 10 people injured in the incident.
