In the wake of an attack on a woman at Aarey Milk Colony on November 11, two leopardesses were trapped in the area in the wee hours of Tuesday.

A forest department official told mid-day, “The leopardesses entered separate cages set up at Unit 15. They have been taken to Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) and the process of identification is in progress, based on which a decision will be taken.” The authorities will check if the rosette patterns of the trapped leopardesses match with those of the big cat responsible for the attacks.
