The Wildlife Department caught a leopard alive in Khudpora Khan-Sahib on Saturday, a day after a four-year-old girl was mauled to death in Budgam, and two more leopards were spotted in Watkaloo Charar-i-Sharief and Huroo Budgam, respectively.
One of the leopards was spotted near Ompora Housing Colony in Budgam, where the incident occurred yesterday, according to an official.
The leopard, which was spotted in Khan-Khudpora Sahib’s area, was captured alive by Wildlife Department officials and taken to a safer location, he said.
He stated that a search operation has been launched for two more leopards that were spotted in two different Budgam locations. “We will keep searching until we find them,” the official said.
