Kaushik, the little boy from Adoni in Kurnool district who was attacked by a leopard on the Tirumala ghat road recently, was discharged on Friday after full recovery.
In the incident, which happened on June 22 night at the 7th mile point on the first ghat road, a sub-adult leopard on the prowl made a vain bid to lift Kaushik and run away into the woods. However, with security guards and fellow pilgrims chasing the animal for nearly 100 metres and distracting it by pelting stones, leopard dropped the boy and fled. He was admitted to Sri Padmavati children’s hospital at Alipiri.
