An adult female leopard that attacked a tea garden worker was trapped by the forest department from Gulma tea estate near Siliguri in West Bengal's Darjeeling district.
The big cat aged between one to two years was later taken to the Sunka animal rescue and treatment centre under Mahananda Wildlife sanctuary.
Earlier on Saturday night, the forest officials laid a cage in the garden. After few hours, the leopard was spotted trapped inside the cage.
According to the officials, the leopard would be released in the sanctuary after conducting a primary medical check-up.
