Panic gripped the people of the northern Indian city of Jaipur when a leopard was sighted strolling through the streets and jumping from house to house on Thursday.
The videos and pictures from the city show the leopard causing mayhem in the town. Residents gathered on their rooftops and on the streets to watch the endangered leopard.
The leopard was finally rescued by forest officials after being tranquilised in a nearly 20-hour long grueling rescue operation.
The CCTV footage of the SMS School in the city showed the leopard roaming free on school premises.
