According to the forest department official, the male leopard must have entered the school compound by jumping over the boundary wall the school shares with a forest.
"In the wake of the leopard scare, some 134 schools in the city have been shut. We will take a decision whether to reopen them Friday, after a meeting in the evening," a senior government official said, on condition of anonymity.
There are around 14,000 leopards in India. These cats are increasingly venturing into populated areas as their habitats are being depleted.
