<p>Video of leopard's leisurely walk in Mumbai's Aarey Milk Colony shows that leopards don't attack humans without provocation</p>

Even as a leopard's regular visit to forested hillock in Mumbai's Powai area has raised safety concerns among locals, mid-day has a video that proves that leopards don't attack humans unless provoked.
The video, shot last year by two researchers -- Vishal Shah and Rajesh Sanap, shows a leopard taking a stroll in Aarey Milk Colony. The leopard was also seen crossing the road. Many experts believe that these close encounters between humans and leopards without untoward incidents happening should clear the misconception from people's mind that leopards attack on seeing humans.
