A leopard was successfully trapped in one of the cages set up by forest officials inside Aarey Milk Colony in the early hours of Friday.  The authorities are, however, yet to ascertain if it is the same animal that is believed to be attacking people over the past month. Since August 31, six people have been injured in leopard attacks, while many have said that a leopard charged at them.

Alarmed at the surge in man-animal encounters, forest officials have set up three cages at three different locations in Aarey.
