Meanwhile, residents of Andige in Sorab taluk claimed to have seen two leopards in an agricultural field on the outskirts of the village on Tuesday evening. Forest Department officials were alerted immediately, but though the personnel conducted a thorough search, they could not find any big cats. They requested the villagers not to venture into their fields at night to operate irrigation pump sets.
