Kerala: The evil leopard who turned a three-year-old girl into a morsel was caught

Gudalur: The dreaded leopard, which killed a three-year-old boy in Pandalur, was finally caught by forest officials on Sunday. The department doctor had to put two tranquilizers on the big cat to transfer it to the cage. According to officials, the captured leopard will soon be shifted to Mudumalai National Park. It was only after strong protests from the natives in Pandalur that the forest department insisted on capturing the wild animal.

Even after the leopard was captured, angry locals stopped the forest officials from taking away the wild animal and wanted to kill it. Three-year-old Nancy was killed by the leopard at 5 pm on Saturday, sparking a strong reaction from the locals, who by then had been pleading for help from forest officials. After attacking Nancy, the tiger also attacked a woman named Manjula.

Now he is being treated at Pandalur Government Hospital. Nancy is the daughter of Shivshankar and Milan Devi, natives of Jharkhand. The leopard snatched the girl from Shivshankar who was bringing her back from playschool.
