NCC training in college helped: Boy who locked leopard in room

A day after a leopard allegedly strayed into a house on the UP-Delhi border, leading to a wild chase by foresters, policemen and the district administration all through the night, officials from the forest department rescued the animal early Friday morning from inside the house it was locked inside. Forest department officials and residents of Bhopura, where the leopard had injured three people, including a 14-year-old boy, congratulated 22-year-old Ankit, who had raced towards his uncle’s house to lock the leopard inside a room in the house, for his alertness and bravery.
