Brajesh Kumar, Sumit Jaiswal and S.B. Pandey (ARIES, Nainital, India, on
behalf 
of larger Indian GRB collaboration).

Swift GRB 121108A (Ukwatta et al., GCN 13952) was observed with the 1.3m
Devasthal Fast Optical Telescope at Nainital. Three images in R_c pass-band
(300s each) were obtained starting at 2012-11-08 19:56:19 (UT).

In the co-added R_c frame (300s x 3), we did not detect any optical source
within the XRT error-box down to a limiting magnitude of ~21 mag.
