A leopard meanwhile had chosen young Rahul as its target and in a flash pounced from the shadows and caught in its jaws. The shaken mother stood and ran after the leopard. She chased the leopard for several hundred meters and found it sitting silently, with its paws on Rahul’s chest.

Soon, Kiran lurched forward and grabbed Rahul with all her might and force. The leopard, taken by the surprise, couldn’t hold on to Rahul.
