A leopard, which is believed to have lost its way and reached Nane Pada in Mulund East, which is around three to four kilometres away from the forested patch, injured five people on Saturday. It was only the presence of the mind shown by the forest department's leopard rescue team and the volunteers that helped prevent further conflict in the high human density area.
