Leopard attacks forest official during rescue in Karnataka; watch video

A leopard attacked a forest official during a rescue operation in Karnataka's Davangere after the animal was struck by a car on a highway. The incident was recorded on video and has gone viral. Forest officials tranquilized the injured leopard but were unable to secure it before the attack. Colleagues intervened using a stick to distract the leopard, allowing the official to recover. The leopard eventually retreated to a nearby area, and officials later transported it to a hospital for treatment. The event sparked online discussions, with some criticizing the handling of the rescue and others calling for improved wildlife corridors.

Three bonded labourers from Tiruvannamalai rescued in Karnataka

Three bonded laborers from Tiruvannamalai district were rescued from a sugarcane farm in Karnataka after being forced into exploitative labor conditions. The men, K. Murugan, John Bosco, and K. Anbalagan, were lured with advances of ₹10,000–15,000 and subjected to grueling work schedules, inadequate living conditions, and physical abuse. Revenue officials in Karnataka discovered the workers during an inspection prompted by an alert and arranged for their safe return to Tiruvannamalai. Upon their return, they received release certificates enabling them to access government support programs for bonded laborers.
