The leopard which pounced on three different vehicles last week at Donole ward of Rivona-Sanguem was caught by forest department officials on Friday night.
Immediately after being informed of the three different incidents of the leopard having pounced on vehicles in the village, the team of forest department officials rushed to the village and laid a trap in the area.
After eluding the forest team for two days, the leopard got caught in the trap late Friday night.
The wild cat was trapped much to the relief of villagers as they have feared for their life since the leopard had pounced on three different vehicles in a matter of 15 minutes, causing injuries to one Mohan Wadkar, who fell off his scooter after the animal pounced on it.
News of the leopard getting trapped spread thick and fast in the village, and many villagers rushed to have a glimpse of the leopard and take pictures of the animal.
