The area is close to the Southern Ridge, a forest, which also comprises the Asola Bhatti Wildlife Sanctuary.

Forest officials said teams with more than 40 personnel were deployed to the area on Saturday morning, with two cages set up to trap the animal. Though the officials spotted the leopard at least twice, they were unable to capture it.

At least two videos of the leopard which were recorded by residents emerged online. In one video shot from inside a car, the leopard was seen walking in a narrow residential lane ahead of the vehicle, before entering a dark alley. In the second video, the animal was seen jumping from a wall to cross the road and a man was seen running away.
