Indore, Dec 17 (PTI) Forest authorities on Wednesday captured a leopard that had entered a residential township in Indore, officials said.

Residents of ‘Sahara City’, adjacent to the Devguradia forest area,

had been complaining for the past four days about the leopard’s movements, Divisional Forest Officer Pradeep Mishra told PTI.

“Following the complaint, a cage was set up in the residential township, in which the leopard got trapped. It is a six-year-old male leopard,” he said.

The big cat was later sent to the city’s Kamala Nehru Zoological Museum. It will be released in a forest after a health check-up, the official said.
