What we can confirm

Multiple reputable news outlets and local Indian media report that a leopard entered a liquor store in Todaraisingh, Tonk district, Rajasthan, India, and attacked at least one employee, notably salesman/shopkeeper Sanjay Gurjar.[1][3][5][8][9] CCTV footage described in these reports shows the leopard pouncing on Gurjar, who wrestles briefly with the animal, breaks free, and then runs out of the shop, after which he helps pull down or lower the shutter to trap the leopard inside.[1][3][4][7][8] The employee sustained injuries but survived and was later treated in hospital, consistent with the characterization that he narrowly escaped the attack.[3][5][8][9][10]
