A scientist and a forestry employee were among those mauled during the near 10-hour long effort to corner the dangerous animal on Sunday.
The leopard, which strolled into the Vibgyor International school, was eventually tranquillised and released.
A recent wildlife census estimated that India has a leopard population of between 12,000 and 14,000.
The eight-year-old male was spotted strolling inside the school premises in the Kundalahalli area.
Footage on the school's security cameras showed it attacking a man near a swimming pool.

These cats actually live unseen along side the people so as they say "familiarity breeds contempt."

Looks like he split (and possibility shit) his pants in the process!

He was not exactly dressed for a bunfight with Mr. Spots.

The few times my boy tabby has been an ass he has been a handful. I can't imagine what damage a full sized lepoard can inflict. Really an impressive animal.

That is the city I lived in before moving to NZ!

There is a National Park on the outskirts and now new residential suburbs ave sprung up all along its boundaries.

The school where this happened is bordering a small "green belt" area with a possible old stream bed.

Sanjay Ghandi National park in Bombay has a lot of leopards that have taken small children in the last 10 years. Dogs have been taken from inside a house / apartment!

I saw a program by Romulus Whittaker about the Urban Leopards of South India!
