After the leopard attack in Dudhi Bawdi and Gajinda, most villagers in the surrounding areas of Indore are scared of possible attacks.

Later, after grabbing the hunt in jaw, the leopard dragged the cattle. Some villagers saw this.
After which, an alarm was raised in the village. According to the villager, seeing the cattle being taken away, it seemed that the leopard had attacked again, so the villagers screamed and hooted.
Afraid of the noise, the leopard ran away leaving the hunt behind.
Then the villagers got upset due to the movement of leopard in Chainpura village coming under Barwah range. The process of informing the forest workers started from 7 o'clock in the evening. Two forest workers from Badwah range in Chainpura reached at 9:45 pm.
