Uninvited and mysterious guest spotted at Rashtrapati Bhavan during oath-taking event

A day after the swearing-in ceremony of Modi 3.0 cabinet, a video of an unidentified animal taking a stroll inside the Rashtrapati Bhavan is going viral on social media. 

A mysterious cat-like animal is shown in the background moments after the BJP MP Durga Das Uikey completed his oath procedure and walks up to greet the President Droupadi Murmu during oath-taking ceremony on Sunday evening.

The netizens have begun a guessing game - some claim the unknown animal is a leopard while others commented it’s a security dog or a big pet cat. 

"By the look and walking style, it definitely is of a cat family but the tail is not that of a cat!," a user said. "On man. That does look like a leopard," the other user commented. 

In a grand ceremony held at the Rashtrapati Bhavan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and 30 Cabinet ministers, five Ministers of State with Independent charge and 36 Ministers of State were administered the oath of office and secrecy by President Murmu. The event was attended by 8,000 guests including foreign dignitaries.
