The staff of the Mercedes Benz India’s production facility in Chakan were in for a shock to find a leopard prowling in their premises on Monday morning. The security staff immediately informed the forest department and the Wildlife SOS team operating out of the Manikdoh Leopard Rescue Centre was called in for reinforcements. 

A four-member team from the Wildlife SOS Rapid Response unit led by the NGO’s veterinary officers, Dr Nikhil Bangar and Dr Shubham Patil immediately reached the spot.
