Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) on Tuesday issued a precautionary circular advising students and residents to avoid moving around the campus after sunset and before sunrise, following widespread rumours about a leopard sighting.

The alert was triggered by a video circulating on social media, which many believed was shot inside the SPPU campus. However, when the university contacted the forest department, officials confirmed that the footage was actually from Aundh’s Sindh Colony.
