The animal was sitting on top of cardboard houses inside the house and looking at the crowd standing outside the window. The official tried to prompt the leopard out of the house by pushing the boxes with a stick.
Dr Ajay Deshmukh, a vet from Wildlife SOS, sedated the leopard from a safe distance, showed the video. The leopard was safely rescued after a 3-hour-long operation.
