After some villagers spotted the movement of the big cat and it's pugmark on fields and attacked livestock, the department had set up a cage. The adult leopard was trapped. It appears that the animal might have entered the cage early morning hours today and got trapped.

The officials released it back into the forest and the villagers say they are relaxed now.
