Bengaluru: A 12-year-old boy was injured after a leopard attacked him during a safari inside the Bannerghatta National Park (BNP) in southern Bengaluru on Friday, officials said.
The leopard climbed onto a non-AC bus safari and clawed at the boy's hand, which was within its reach.
BNP authorities administered first aid and are checking if he sustained any other injuries.
Park authorities said precautions were taken to properly cover all mesh openings, including camera slots, and drivers of non-AC safari buses had been given strict safety instructions.
