The incident took place at around 7.44 am as flight AI 1741 was preparing to land. All passengers were reported to be safe. The pilot reported a suspected bird strike after the aircraft landed, officials said

The leopard was captured early Sunday morning near the farm of a local resident after Forest Department officials, assisted by members of Pune-based NGO RESQ Charitable Trust (RESQ CT), tracked its movements and strategically placed cages and trap cameras along its routes
