It could be the lockdown effect, but if true, residents sighting a leopard in a Powai building complex in the evening recently, shows that wild animals are venturing out into the city even during the day.
The resident of Raheja Complex claimed to have spotted the leopard around 5 pm a couple of days back. Interestingly, the building complex is on the other side of the Jogeshwari-Vikhroli Link Road. To verify the presence of the leopard, the Thane Forest Department has installed a camera trap.
On Tuesday a resident of Raheja Vihar, Powai had tweeted, "A resident of Evening Glory building in Raheja Vihar, Powai, Mumbai spotted a leopard in one of the trees in the society garden. This is just a building away from mine! The resident clicked a photo but it's tough to spot the leopard in the trees. @MahaForest @MSgnp @AareyForest."
