The incident occurred in Mala Bhainsoda village when one Dinesh Chandra had gone to relieve himself in the forest on Tuesday morning. When he didn't return for a long time, his family members started a search operation. Barely a few metres away from his home, Chandra's body was spotted in the bushes in a mutilated form.
The incident has shaken the Pauri district administration as it is the second human death within a fortnight due to leopard attack. Earlier on June 10, a 55-year-old woman was killed by a leopard in the western Ameli forest range of Dabra village.
Villagers have demanded the leopard be tagged and terminated.
The injured have been identified as Dharmananda Nayak and Pabitra Nayak of the village.
Reportedly, the incident occurred while the duo had gone to the forest today morning in search of mushrooms. Meanwhile, they were attacked by the animal.
Later, locals rescued and rushed the injured persons to Kamakshyanagar Sub-Divisional Hospital in a 108-ambulance. They were then shifted to the Dhenkanal District Headquarters Hospital (DHH) as their condition deteriorated.

A bear attacked and killed a 16-year-old boy before eating his body
A bear attacked and killed a 16-year-old boy before eating his body
Two other tourists were confronted by the ferocious predator nine hours later when they went to look for the 16-year-old tour guide and were confronted by the bear who lunged at them.
One of the men managed to stab the animal in the neck with a pen knife several times before playing-dead and the other rushed back to raise the alarm.
Inspectors at Ergaki National Park made a grim discovery when they discovered the bear lying on the 16-year-old boy's half-eaten body some 500 yards from the tourist camp in the Sayan Mountains.
The mammal was found floating in the surf.
Experts conducted a necropsy Monday afternoon to determine the whale's cause of death.
This is the 17th whale to wash ashore in the San Francisco Bay this year.
In April, four whales were found dead on Bay Area shores in just over a week.
When the deputies arrived at the home, they found McCurdy deceased. Her body was reportedly in the garage, and the Sheriff's Office said in a news release that evidence observed at the scene "indicates Rebecca was the victim of a dog attack."
"The homeowner claimed he raised pit bull dogs for hobby/sale," the Sheriff's Office said. "There were several pit bull dogs caged in the garage. One of the dog cages was toppled over and there were many signs of a dog attack visible."
Osage County Sheriff's Office investigators continued to look into the incident as they waited for results from the Oklahoma State Medical Examiner's Office. The dogs suspected of vicious activity were taken by the Sheriff's Office and were being held pending further investigation.
The family got the bear to leave their campsite in the Cosby section of the park immediately after the attack and park rangers provided medical care to the girl just after midnight Friday. She was taken to the University of Tennessee Medical Center by Tennessee Army National Guard at about 9 a.m.
The girl was conscious throughout the attack and is now in stable condition, the release said. She received multiple injuries, including head lacerations.
There were two bears near the campsite after the attack. The family identified one bear as being the one that attacked the girl. Rangers shot and killed it.
Forensic testing showed the bear had human blood on it.
The campsite located about 6 miles from the Maddron Bald Trailhead is closed until further notice.

Bears are common in Slovak mountains, and their numbers have swollen to an estimated 2,760 last year from fewer than 900 two decades ago, said the forestry company, which has argued for legal hunting of bears to manage their population.
Four people were injured when a wild bear attacked people inside a residential neighbourhood in Sapporo, Japan on Friday.
The bear was seen wandering through the streets of Sapporo in the early hours of Friday, triggering a number of calls to police.
Over the next eight hours police said the bear injured a woman in her 80s, a man in his 70s and a man in his 40s.
The bear then forced its way into a military camp, injuring a soldier at the gate, before making its way onto a runway at a nearby airport.
The bear finally fled into the woods, where it was shot.
Rare 2-Headed Calf With 4 Eyes & 2 Mouths Born in UP's Chandauli
According to the details, a cow gave birth to a rare two-headed calf in a village in Chandauli's district. The mutant calf was born at the home of Arvind Yadav on Sunday and both the cow and the calf are healthy.
The news spread like a jungle fire in the area and people thronged to see the rare calf. Veterinary doctors said that such thing happens due to abnormal development of cells during the development of the embryo.
Chief Veterinary Officer of Chandauli Dr Satya Prakash Pandey said, "During the development of the fetus in the womb, cells divide into many parts and during this process sometimes there is an additional development of cells. This is why two heads form."
