Did you see the scary video of a leopard walking through a fancy mall in Gurugram?
Many people saw a short video that looks real. It shows a big, spotted leopard strolling past stores inside a busy shopping mall. Because Gurugram is close to the jungle (the Aravalli hills), people got very scared and started sharing the video everywhere.
Leopard in Gurugram Mall Real or Fake
The Easy Answer is it is Not Real.
We can tell you clearly that the video of the leopard in the mall is 100% fake.
The leopard was not real. It was created by a computer.
How We Know It is Fake
The video is a tricky kind of fake called an AI deepfake. This means:
- Someone used Artificial Intelligence, or AI to create the animal and put it into the video of the mall. AI is so good now that it can make things look perfectly real, even when they are not.
- If a real, dangerous leopard was loose in a mall, the police, forest department, and news would be everywhere instantly. Nobody official reported this event.
- This is a popular trick right now. People make fake videos of big cats in malls and cities just to shock people and make the video go viral.
Why People Believed It
The only reason this video was believed is that real leopards sometimes wander near Gurugram. They live in the nearby Aravalli hills.
- In the past, real leopards have been spotted in villages or next to housing areas close to the jungle.
- But they have not been found in a major, busy shopping mall.
The people who made the video used a real fear (leopards near the city) to make a fake story that would spread quickly.
Next time you see a shocking video online, remember this fake leopard! Always check with real news sources first. There is no need to worry – the Gurugram malls are safe for shopping.
