A wedding in Lucknow took a terrifying turn on Wednesday night when an unexpected guest disrupted the festivities. While the ceremony was underway in a banquet hall located in the Budheshwar area on Hardoi Road, a leopard suddenly appeared, causing chaos among the attendees.

As the predator entered the venue, panic erupted, with guests frantically fleeing in every direction to escape. A cameraman, engrossed in capturing moments, leaped off a stairway upon spotting the leopard. Meanwhile, the bride and groom sought refuge inside a car, frantically locking the doors.

The situation was brought under control with the arrival of police and Forest Department teams, who evacuated the hall. They deployed a drone to help locate the leopard, which was eventually found resting on the building’s terrace.

As officials attempted to approach the leopard, it unexpectedly emerged before them. In a moment of terror, one officer dropped his rifle and bolted down the stairs in fear. During the commotion, Police Sub-Inspector Mukaddar Ali sustained minor injuries from the leopard’s attack, but fortunately, they were not severe.

For nearly three hours, the leopard roamed the banquet hall, evading capture until the Forest Department officials finally succeeded in tranquilizing and securing the animal, as confirmed by the police.

National: One year after the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, the nation remembers the 26 people who lost their lives. The attack took place on April 22 at Baisaran, a popular tourist spot.

At first, reports said only five people were injured. Later, it became clear that it was one of the worst terror attacks in the region in decades. Terrorists came out of the forest and opened fire on tourists.

Survivors said the attackers separated men from women and children. They then shot the men at close range. Many victims were reportedly targeted after being asked about their religion.

A heartbreaking image of Himanshi Narwal sitting beside her husband’s body became a symbol of the tragedy. Her husband, a naval officer, was among those killed.

The group The Resistance front, linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility. The case was investigated by the National Investigation Agency.

After months of tracking, security forces launched Operation Mahadev. On July 28, 2025, all three terrorists were killed after a long search operation.

The attack remains a painful memory and a reminder of the need for strong security.
