12-year-old Maharashtra boy locks leopard in a room, viral video will shock you

In a heart-stopping incident in Malegaon, Maharashtra, 12-year-old Mohit Ahire showcased remarkable courage as he narrowly escaped a close encounter with a leopard. The daring escape, captured in a viral video, left viewers in awe of Ahire's quick thinking and composure.

The incident unfolded at a wedding hall in Malegaon, where Ahire, the son of a security guard, found himself face-to-face with the wild animal. The gripping video, widely shared on social media, depicts Ahire engrossed in his phone in a room when the leopard casually strolls in. Remarkably, the big cat appears oblivious to the young boy's presence.

Describing the harrowing moment, Ahire shared with Times of India (TOI), "The leopard was so close. There was hardly any space between the leopard and me. It walked into the inner cabin of the office right in front of me. I was scared, but I quietly got off the bench and sneaked out of the office. I closed the door behind me."
