Thirty-three days after forest officials mounted efforts to trap female leopard C32 that was suspected to be behind the recent series of attacks on locals inside Aarey Milk Colony, the big cat walked into a cage on Wednesday. Since August 31, nine people including a 4-year-old boy had been injured in leopard attacks, while many others claimed that a big cat had charged at them. 

Confirming the development, Principal Chief Conservator of Forest Sunil Limaye told mid-day, “The permission to capture the suspected leopard C32 was extended till November 30.  According to the team of researchers working on the ground, the leopard was successfully captured on Wednesday evening.”
