According to local authorities, a mother from India, whose son was grabbed by a leopard, pursued the animal until it released the child.

On 30 November, authorities said a child was sitting in a hut with his family in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh when a leopard suddenly ran in and grabbed the boy.

Yip Singh, field director for Sanjay Dubri National Park and Tiger Sanctuary in Madhya Pradesh, said Kiran Baiga, the boy's mother, screamed and quickly chased the leopard.

Sanjay Dubri has an open area where people live among free-roaming animals, while Baiga and her family live in the Badi Jiriya village, which is located in this free-roaming zone.

“Kiran Baiga was sitting in her hut with her children when the leopard came. He took the child and began to run away. The woman started screaming and running after him. Hearing the cry, many people came running, so the leopard let go of the child and disappeared,” Singh said.

“Fortunately, the boy only had minor injuries and is recovering well,” Singh said. “He was not seriously injured, but the leopard’s teeth pierced him. He was admitted to the hospital and is now completely healthy,” Singh added.
