Baripada, Odisha: Three persons were injured after being attacked by a leopard which strayed from Similipal sanctuary area and sneaked into Udala town in Odisha's Mayurbhanj district today.
The leopard first attacked Hari Murmu (24), as he stepped out of house in Udala NAC area, leaving him critically injured, a forest official said.
When the word spread, hundreds of local people gathered outside a farm house where the leopard was hiding, the official said.
