People who were going on a funeral procession on the road to the crematorium at Varchipet in Rajapur city were seen drinking water by the leopard. Seeing this scene, there was confusion among the citizens who participated in the funeral procession. The citizens returned home fearing for their lives after performing the last rites. This incident took place on Friday around six in the evening. The cemetery at Warchipeth in the city is so secluded. On Friday 23rd August, the mother of Vinayak Sawant, a resident of this place, passed away, and the funeral procession started at around 6 in the evening. While the funeral procession was passing through the crematorium road, the citizens who participated in the funeral procession saw a leopard drinking water in a nearby pond. This sent a shiver through them. In such a situation, the citizens participating in the funeral reached the cemetery and somehow completed the funeral and reached their homes. However, because of this situation, it has become dangerous to walk in Varchipeth in the evening, so the citizens of this place have demanded that the Forest Department should install a cage for this leopard. www.konkantoday.com
