After the late night walk through heavily-populated areas, the wild cats returned to the forest area of the Girnar Wildlife Sanctuary.
In a separate incident, one person was seriously injured when three lions attacked him in a village in Gujrat on Tuesday. Forest officials said the man from the shepherd community was attacked by three lions while he was grazing goats. The 50-year-old shepherd was admitted to a hospital for treatment.
