Stray Leopard Roaming in Electronic City Area of Bengaluru Captured

Bengaluru: A four-year-old male leopard that was roaming in the Electronic City area of Bengaluru for about a week was caught alive in a trap set by the forest officials.

Inhabitants of Electronic City were in panic after CCTV footage showed the leopard crossing a flyover near a toll plaza.  The forest officials were trying hard to capture the elusive big cat.

Forest officials laid a trap for the past four to five days but the leopard did not fall into it. So, they erected a big enclosure like  ‘Tumkur trap cage’ which would enable the leopard to walk in with its big tail inside the cage and get trapped.

The leopard was caught in this trap on Tuesday night in an open area in Electronic city.

The captured leopard will be shifted to the Bannerghatta Biological Park.
