A Video circulating on X shows a leopard attacking people on a highway, suggesting that the incident happened near Soroti University in Uganda and tags the Uganda Wildlife Authority.
VIDEO:
What we know
•It is true that three leopards were spotted near Soroti University in Uganda, prompting concern among residents and the university community. Read on Jamiiforums -Uganda
•The viral highway video, however, is unrelated to the Soroti sightings.
•JamiiCheck traced the footage to Davangere, Karnataka, India, in September 2026.(View Here)
The video shows an injured leopard that had been hit by a vehicle attacking a forest official during a rescue operation.
•Indian forest officials later tranquillised the animal, rescued it and transported it to a hospital for treatment.
Verdict: MISLEADING
The video is authentic but falsely presented as footage from Soroti University. Although three leopards were spotted near the university, the circulating video documents a rescue operation in India, not a leopard attack in Uganda.
