Mumbai, Dec 20: A six-hour-long plastic surgery was performed at Mumbai’s KEM Hospital on two victims critically injured in a leopard attack in Bhayander, where the animal entered a residential building and injured seven people on Friday, including three members of the same family. Doctors have said both patients are currently stable.
Two victims suffered severe injuries
The most severely injured include 22-year-old Anjali Tak, whose face was brutally mauled in the attack, and 52-year-old Deep Bhaumik, who suffered serious injuries to his left hand. Both were initially treated at Pandit Bhimsen Joshi Hospital in Bhayander before being referred to KEM Hospital for advanced care.

Dr Vinita Puri, Head of the Plastic Surgery Department, said the leopard caused extensive facial injuries to the young woman, with deep claw marks on her forehead, lips, nose, and eyes.
