A stray leopard sneaked into a Bengaluru school on Sunday and a nearly 10-hour-long drama ensued.

The 8-year-old male disappeared and reappeared, mauled half a dozen people, and caused utter chaos in the suburban school. It was finally captured after two tranquiliser darts fired at it found their mark. Chief wildlife warden Ravi Ralf said the animal was taken to the Bannerghatta National Park to be revived. The incident highlights the growing instances of man-animal conflict on the outskirts of the rapidly expanding city.
