Udaipur, : A two-year-old female leopard was captured in a cage set up by the Forest Department, about 4 kilometres from Gogunda district.

Readers may recall that two days ago, a leopard had attacked a sheep enclosure and preyed on two of the animals in the Gharwana Naya Basti area. The local villagers had protested against frequent similar incidents and demanded setting up of traps to capture the leopard. The Forest Department had installed a cage in the area resulting in the capture of the female leopard. It is believed that the captured animal is the same leopard responsible for the sheep attack two days ago.

The leopard has been shifted to the Sajjangarh Biological Park in Udaipur.
