Panic-stricken residents hide after leopard injures 6 in northern Indian city
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Police say forestry officials and police armed with tranquilizer darts are searching for a leopard that has injured six people in a northern Indian city, creating panic and driving people indoors.
Police superintendent Abhiskek Singh said the leopard has wandered through a hospital and a crowded market in Meerut city, setting off a minor stampede in which two more people were hurt.
Authorities ordered schools and colleges closed and asked people to stay indoors as police teams scoured the city.
