A leopard that entered a residential society in Haryana’s Sohna, was safely captured after a four-hour-long rescue operation, officials said on Monday.<\/p>\n
The leopard, a five to six year old male, entered the Amol Ashiana Society around midnight, prompting the local authorities to alert the wildlife and forest departments, an official said.<\/p>\n
Wildlife officer, R K Jangra, said that the big cat likely entered the society through the basement parking area in search of food or to escape a territorial conflicts with other leopards.<\/p>\n
The animal made its way to the sewage treatment plant within the premises, he added.<\/p>\n
The rescue team cut the grill of the sewage treatment plant and placed a cage to capture the leopard. Initially efforts were made to catch it by making noise, but the leopard remained inside, he said.<\/p>\n
Jangra said the team then sprayed water inside the plant, prompting the leopard to come out and it was safety caught using a net.<\/p>\n
The leopard was later released into the Aravali forests. The operation was conducted without injuring the animal and no residents or team members were harmed, the officer said.<\/p>\n
