The video showing a leopard casually strolling at night on a road in Nainital, the British-era hill city of Uttarakhand, has been shared by Indian Forest Service officer Saket Bodal.

The leopard is seen passing in front of the campus of Thakur Dev Singh Bisht College which has raised fears of a potential human-animal conflict.
