‘Uncivilised': Rajasthan woman ties rakhi to leopard, viral video sparks outrage
In a bizarre incident, a woman tied a rakhi to a leopard in a village in Rajasthan. The video of the incident has caught the Internet's attention, triggering outrage over animal cruelty and a lack of awareness regarding human-animal interaction. The now-viral video shows the woman sitting near the edge of an agricultural field. A leopard, surprisingly docile, sits in front of her. Fearless, the woman gently holds its paw, ties a rakhi, and even attempts to feed it sweets. What has left onlookers stunned is the animal's calm demeanor as it shows no aggression or fear. According to villagers, the leopard has been frequently spotted in the area over the past few days and has shown no signs of hostility, a report in Free Press Journal stated. Locals claim it often wanders into the village and appears unusually unafraid of humans. Watch here: A post shared by Jist (@ Slamming the incident, a user wrote, 'Probably the same people that wounded the poor animal.' Another user commented, 'Just because they see a wild animal who's not in action, he's injured, they happily take photos with him! Wow! Dude, take it to a vet to get him cured!! But no, we don't actually have love, we just want a pose with the wild animal, who otherwise is able to tear us apart!!' another user commented. 'Uncivilised people,' a third user reacted. The report added that the forest department issued a warning after the video came to light. Officials stressed that despite the 'heartfelt' gesture, such interactions with wild animals are extremely dangerous. Authorities have now increased surveillance in the region and are working on relocating the leopard to a safer, more suitable habitat. 'We urge people not to approach or engage with wild animals. These creatures belong in the wild, and human interference can lead to tragic consequences,' the FPJ quoted the official.

She said that when Palak was younger, she had a strict curfew time that she had to abide by. She said that it could be as early as 11 pm, or as late as 1 am, but it was sacrosanct. "I would not let her go kahi aise hi . However, if you tell me you will be home by 1, you have to be at the door by 1, not leave from the party at 1, " she said. She also added that she also made it a point to note down all of her daughter's friends' phone numbers, along with their mothers, but was wise enough not to call unless there is an emergency. The world is sketchy, says the protective mother Shweta also added that the world can be extremely intimidating for a young woman, so doing all this was a way of protecting her daughter. She said that she also tracked Palak's location when she was out, because even though Palak does not drink, people around her might still do, hence she had to go the extra mile to ensure that she was safe. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Japanese AI invention allows you to speak 68 languages instantly.
