A leopard was sighted near the Bavdhan area around 12:30 am on December 1, with the visuals captured on a mobile phone. Forest Department officials have also verified that the footage is genuine, and teams have carried out site inspections following the report.

According to the officials, no additional sightings have been reported after the initial incident. Preliminary assessment indicates that the animal may have been moving along the Ramnadi nala, a known wildlife movement corridor. Leopards have historically inhabited the NDA hill ranges, which connect further toward the Mulshi region.
