The Forest Department on Thursday captured the leopard that attacked six people that was on prowl since Monday and had entered the city of Tiruppur after initially being found at a village near Avinashi.
Officials, who were part of the operation, said that the forest staff had camped at Pongupalayam in the city outskirts on Wednesday evening following reported sightings of the carnivore in the locality. Later, the personnel received information that the leopard was found at a godown on the premises of a private garment company at Ammapalayam within the limits of Tiruppur City Police.
The personnel rushed to Ammapalayam at around 9 a.m. to capture the leopard. In the meantime, it had attacked Rajendran (66), a security guard at the garment company, the officials said. While they succeeded in containing the carnivore initially, it managed to escape to an agriculture land in the vicinity within an hour.
