The leopard had ventured into the village from a nearby forest and fled after Usman's grandmother and other villagers raised an alarm, the official said.

The grandmother escaped unhurt.

Usman was rushed to a hospital where he was declared brought dead, the police said, adding that the body had been handed over to the family for the last rites.
