Three of the eight victims who were attacked by the wild animal were identified as Mahender, Akash and Rampal, residents of Jagatpur village.
As per locals and the videos surfaced on the social media, a man was severely attacked, who sustained wounds with scratch marks on his back and shoulder.
All three were rushed to a hospital for necessary medical attention.
The incident was reported at around 6.14 am on Monday morning. Police were informed that a leopard had entered a house in Jagatpur. A police team was rushed to the spot. The concerned forest officials were also informed, who later reached the spot.
