‘Maneater’ Leopard caged after six attacks

A fortnight after the incidence of woman being killed and her child dragged away by a leopard in Ranighata village, Dungerpur the forest department succeeded to cage the beast.

The leopard was caged at Sarkan, an adjoining forest area near the village on Monday morning. Large number of people had gathered to see the cage which was completely packed before uploading it on the truck. The leopard has been shifted to an isolated cage in the Gulab Bagh zoo and will not be allowed for public display, said Rahul Bhatngar, CCF (Wild life).

The leopard had been terrorizing people for one and a half months now. It had made 6 attacks on men and killed two children and a woman. More than a dozen cattle have fell prey of the leopard and people suspected of the beast having become fearless and hence dangerous.

The authorities have been working on a proposal to pronounce the beast a maneater following the casualties that happened in a confined area of 6-7 square kilometers.
