A man in Karnataka’s Haasan district fought off and killed a leopard that had attacked him and his family, according to reports in local media. Rajagopal Naik, a resident of Arasikere taluk in Hassan district, was travelling home on a motorcycle with his wife Chandramma and their child Kiran, when a leopard leapt at them from the bushes.
