According to forest officials, the incident took place on the agricultural land of Ramakrishnan in KPR Nagar, Maloor.

The Kottiyoor Forest Range Office was soon informed, officials said.
Officials said the leopard would have to be tranquilised to free it from the trap.
After examining the health condition of the wild animal, a decision will be taken on whether to release it in the forest, they said.
