A visitor first noticed the feline roaming around Wonder La park and raised an alarm, leading to panic among those who had come there, forest department officials said.
None were however injured as security personnel quickly brought out all visitors from the park, they said. Police and forest department officials were then informed about the presence of the leopard in Wonder La. A team of forest officials from Bannerghatta Biological Park rushed to the spot and tranquilised the animal.
