In the year 2006, Shukla heard the news of a leopard being hunted down by local villagers. When he arrived at the spot, he saw that the villagers had tied the leopard and were trying to harm it.

Shukla immediately went up to the villagers and asked to go away. In order to free the leopard, Pawan let go of all the ropes. The leopard was very much angry with all the teasing from the villagers.
