Efforts are being made in the last one week to capture the animal. Instructions have been given to capture the animal, and release it in the forest,” Mr. Bommai said.
Mr. Bommai said there are a number of leopards around the elephant corridor in Bengaluru and Mysuru range. A special team has been constituted to prevent leopard attacks and to take certain specific actions. An operation would be launched by the special team to nab leopards that come outside forests.
