A crocodile was rescued from Royal Palms on Wednesday by NGO Wildlife Welfare Association (WWA) along with Thane Forest Department Territorial. Last week, a juvenile crocodile was rescued from the excavation site of a bungalow plot at Royal Palms in Aarey milk colony by the same NGO.

Speaking to mid-day, WWA president Aditya Patil said, "After rescuing a juvenile crocodile, our team rescued another one today morning from the same artificial pond. We decided to set up a trap last night by placing fishing nets and divided the pond into three parts. Once the crocodile was trapped, our team rescued him safely using the grasper net."
