According to the officials, the leopard moved from the Panak India Company area to the Nettur Technical Training Foundation (NTTF) ground and was captured in the NTTF CCTV footage. Sunil Joshi, Principal of NTTF, said, "We got an update from the camera near the toll gate that a leopard had passed near the compound wall. Precautionary checks were conducted on the campus. The forest department officials also came to reconfirm and said that no leopard was seen. A camera image suggested that it moved from the compound wall, so we took the necessary precautions, as this is a training centre."

The leopard hasn't been seen the entire day, nevertheless, the LTF (Leopard Task Force) has been deployed for combing operations in nearby areas.
