According to Times of India, residents said that forest department officials that reached the spot to rescue the animal waited for hours for a veterinarian from Rajaji Tiger Reserve to arrive as not a single personnel trained to tranquillise the leopard was available in Dehradun or Mussoorie's forest divisions. The leopard ran away just minutes before the vet was about to tranquillise it.
