Injured ocelot, Papaoutai, is not yet able to have visitors outside of his rehabilitation schedule, said veterinarian Dr Kriyaan Singh, who has been nursing injured ocelot Papaoutai back to health.

On Tuesday, Dr Singh urged media houses, social media content creators and general well-wishers to stay tuned to his Facebook page for updates on the injured ocelot.

A post on Dr Singh’s Facebook page stated, “Persons who never once visited Dr Kriyaan Singh for anything, are now asking to come see Papaoutai the ocelot and even randomly showing up at my home/clinic making requests. And all are being respectfully declined. Under the EMA (Environmental Management Authority) Environmental Sensitive Species (ESS) legislation, all activity, including this, must be given permission by the EMA before it is done with regard to the ocelot. And as such Dr Kriyaan Singh is the only one they have given permission to do so and initial media coverage by state media.”
