"The place is abandoned and uis comparatively cooler and has been the leopard's regular space for a while. He must have come to rest there. He was sitting there for about three hours or so and then left without bothering anyone," an eyewitness told mid-day.

There have been regular instances of leopard sightings in the green patch areas of the suburbs, including Aarey Milk Colony, Film City, and IIT-Bombay.
