Watch: Sikh Man On Motorbike Comes To The Rescue Of Leopard Attack Victim In Jammu
A leopard was captured by the wildlife department on Wednesday after hectic efforts lasting over six hours in a village in Doda district of Jammu and Kashmir, officials said. The leopard ventured into Pranoo village from the nearby forest around 8.30 am and was noticed by some local labourers working on construction of a road, the officials said.
Getting immediate medical help can often prove to be the difference between life and death in case of accidents or injuries.
One of the biggest challenges in this is to get a vehicle on time to transport the injured.
But sometimes a quick-thinking and steadfast action can overcome this too.
The video of a Sikh man from Jammu carrying a leopard attack victim to a hospital on his bike is one such example.
