Hyderabad: An employee of Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthanams (TTD) was mauled by a leopard while he was driving his bike on Zoo Park Road in Tirumala on Saturday, January 11.
D Muni Kumar, an employee of TTD, who works at Ashwini Hospital, was riding his bike when he saw a leopard crossing the road near the Vedic University at around 1 pm. In a panic, he fell off his bike and sustained serious head injuries.
