Chief of Wildlife Animal Rehabilitation Center, A.K. Gulati told that after conducting medical examination of the animal it was operated as it was found with broken back, however it was too early to say that it could not walk due to back injury.

Mr. Gulati perplexed as how the leopard got injured, it might have been hit by vehicle or might have fallen down from a steep hill after losing balance, however it was unusual case, as such incidents rarely occur.

The passerby initially did not venture near it but after witnessing that the wounded leopard is not able to move despite lot of effort they approached it and informed the wildlife officials.
