This is the horrifying moment a fully grown leopard pounces on a forestry department official in a village in deepest India.

The forest guards eventually managed to corner and successfully tranquilise the beast but not before it attacked one of their own men.
Villagers can only watch in horror as the leopard which mauled a number of people lands on a forest guard
These pictures show the amazing scene as it unfolded in Prakash Nagar village, near Salugara on the outskirts of Siliguri, in Assam, north-east India.
Perched on corrugated rooftops and walls, the villagers watch the action in a mixture of horror and excitement.
