Going Viral: Leopard enters the hotel room of a couple vacationing in Nainital

Chennai

The big cat smashed the window pane to get into the room as Sumit Rathore and his wife Shivani cowered behind the bed to escape being noticed by it. As the animal leisurely walked into the washroom, Sumit plucked some courage and bolted the door from outside and locked in the big cat and raised an alarm. A forest department team arrived with a cage and tranquiliser gun to trap the leopard but it jumped out of the washroom ventilator and vanished in the nearby forest.

The video of the leopard in the room taken by Sumit stealthily in hiding, has been uploaded on social media and has been viewed multiple times. It is being put forth by forest authorities that the one-and-half-year-old leopard had sought refuge in the hotel room after being chased by wild dogs.
