A week after multiple sightings, a male leopard was finally trapped by the forest department at Dindoshi in Malad East early Tuesday. Meanwhile, it will continue patrolling and leave the cage as is in Marol, Andheri East, another place where a big cat was seen a few days back.

Deputy Conservator of Forests (DCF) Santosh Saste from Thane Forest Department (territorial), said, “On Tuesday morning, a male leopard entered the trap cage set up in Dindoshi. The animal has been sent to the Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP), where a medical evaluation will be conducted before a decision is made regarding its release.”
