MP: Kuno cheetah, spotted on Sheopur road in viral video, rescued by officials

A cheetah, released into the wild on December 4, was recently seen wandering the streets of Sheopur town in Madhya Pradesh, on the evenings of Tuesday and Wednesday, but has since returned to the forest, as per various reports.

The two male cheetahs, Agni and Vayu, were translocated from South Africa in February 2023 and subsequently released into the Palpur forest within Kuno National Park (KNP) on December 4.

As per the reports, Agni was spotted near the stadium in Sheopur, causing alarm among residents. Yusuf Khan, a resident of Crusher Basti near Veer Savarkar Stadium, noted, “People panicked and retreated to their homes” upon seeing the cheetah. On Wednesday, the cheetah was captured in another widely circulated video, raising concerns about its behavior in urban areas.

Wildlife activist Ajay Dubey expressed concerns regarding the cheetah’s adaptation, suggesting that after over a year in captivity, it may have lost its wild instincts or could be struggling with food scarcity. He mentioned reports of the cheetah killing a stray dog and questioned if there was a lack of prey available in the region.

In response, a senior official from the National Tiger Conservation Authority assured that there is no cause for alarm. “It is important to understand that these two cheetahs are free-ranging now. These animals do not understand or see human boundaries. One of them, Agni, was seen wandering around 3 am on the 24th, a time when few people are on the roads. To my knowledge, a police van recorded a video of the incident,” the official elaborated.

The official confirmed that Agni has returned to the forest and that Vayu remains near its enclosure, with both animals being monitored closely due to their radio collars and GPS tags.

Additionally, the chief wildlife warden of Madhya Pradesh and police officials have been directed to prevent the sharing of such videos on social media due to the potential for public panic. “Cheetahs are harmless and generally do not pose a threat to humans, so there is no reason for concern,” the official reiterated.

According to the Cheetah Conservation Fund, cheetahs typically do not engage in conflict with humans and possess a generally docile temperament. The two cheetahs, brothers, were part of the 12 animals relocated from South Africa for Project Cheetah. While Vayu remained in Kuno, Agni strayed and was eventually tranquilized in Rajasthan before being returned to a soft enclosure prior to their release on December 4.

Prince Yadav makes India debut against Afghanistan after comeback from BCCI ban

Prince Yadav’s cricket journey came full circle as the Delhi fast bowler made his India debut against Afghanistan in Lucknow, years after serving a two-year BCCI suspension and rebuilding his career through domestic cricket and the IPL.

Fast bowler Prince Yadav achieved a major milestone in his cricket career after making his international debut for India in the second ODI against Afghanistan in Lucknow on Wednesday. The Delhi pacer was handed his maiden India cap as the hosts made changes to their playing XI for the match.

Yadav’s selection marked the latest chapter in a journey that has included both setbacks and redemption. He came into the side after India reshuffled their lineup, with Nitish Kumar Reddy unavailable due to injury.

Long road to international cricket

The 24-year-old fast bowler rose through the ranks after establishing himself in domestic cricket and the Indian Premier League. Playing for the Lucknow Super Giants, Yadav emerged as one of the team’s notable performers during the 2026 IPL season, picking up 16 wickets in 14 matches.

He also grabbed headlines earlier this year when he dismissed Virat Kohli during an IPL match, a moment that significantly boosted his profile among cricket fans.

BCCI suspension and comeback

Yadav’s path to the national team was far from straightforward. In 2019, the BCCI imposed a two-year suspension on the pacer after he was found guilty of age-fudging in Under-19 cricket. According to reports, a discrepancy was found between documents submitted to the cricket board and records maintained by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE).

The suspension kept him out of domestic cricket for two seasons. During that period, Yadav reportedly focused on improving his fitness and preparing for a return to competitive cricket.

His performances after returning helped him rebuild his career, eventually earning opportunities in domestic cricket, the IPL and now the Indian national team.

The debut against Afghanistan represents a significant turnaround for the Delhi fast bowler, who has gone from serving a suspension to representing India on the international stage.
