The female leopard spotted at the defunct Khatau Mill adjacent to Ekta Meadows Society in Kandivli ( E) walked into the cage set by Thane Forest Department late on Thursday night. As the animal was completely fit, it was released back into the wild early yesterday.

The Bombay Territorial Range of Thane Forest Department ( FD) had set up a cage in the mill a few days ago, following requests from the residents of the society.
