Leopard Walks Into Couple's Bedroom in Bengaluru

JUST imagine a leopard walking in through the main door, into the living room, and then to the bedroom and take refuge under the bed...all while you are still sipping your morning beverage.

This was the experience of a shocked elderly couple in Kuntala Reddy Layout in Jigani municipal residential area on Thursday morning.

The petrified couple, who are tenants in the house, Venkatesh and Venkatalakshmamma, ran out of their house and locked the main door before dialing the local police and forest department officials for help.

Narrating the events, a forest department official said: "At around 6.30-7am, the locals sighted a big animal wandering on the road. After identifying it as a leopard, the locals threw stones at it to scare it away. The confused leopard ran towards the human habitation, and in a bid to escape the stones, entered the house as the gates and the door were open."
