According to the information received, Shelke was in the meter testing room testing some meters at her table on Wednesday at 10:45am when she heard lineman Balu Phanse repeatedly calling out to her. Before she could respond, she heard a slight rustling and was stunned to see a leopard hiding behind the boxes. Since she was sitting with her back to the door, she did not see the leopard enter. However, her sheer presence of mind helped her handle the situation and saved her life, as she immediately walked outside the room and latched the door.
