The Forest Department said all three of the injured have been admitted to the Community Health Center for treatment.
According to locals, Rajkumari (52), a resident of Rampurwa Matehi village under the shrine’s Nishangadha range, was attacked by a leopard in a field.
After attacking her, the leopard fled into the forest. About 25 minutes later, the leopard returned and attacked Vijay Pratap, 42, the villagers said.
Later, the leopard attacked Dalvinder Singh (43), a farmer working in a field in the nearby village of Karikot. The villagers tried to scare the leopard away by making noise, but it hid in the fields.
