Mysuru Woman Saves Mother-In-Law From Leopard, Receives Nomination For Bravery Award

Mysuru: A daughter-in-law from Mysuru's Siddhartha Nagar is being hailed as a hero. Sujatha didn't think twice before rushing in to save her elderly mother-in-law after discovering a leopard was hiding under a cot in their house.

Now, Women and Child Development Minister Lakshmi Hebbalkar has praised Sujatha's incredible courage.

The minister said that while the incident was shocking, it was also a testament to a woman's amazing courage and the sacred bond between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. "The moment Sujatha realised a leopard was under the cot, she risked her own life, ran into the room, hugged her aged mother-in-law, and brought her out safely. Her bravery is truly thrilling," the minister described.
