Lakhimpur Kheri: Following a month-and-a-half-long chase, a leopard, believed to have killed three people since October 4, was captured alive by the forest officials of the south Kheri division. This is the place where it had made its last human kill on October 20,” said Sanjay Bishwal, divisional forest officer, south Kheri forest division. The official added, “Frequent movements of the leopard in the area and its capture from the spot of its last kill suggests that the captured big cat is the same that killed three people on October 4, 18, and 20.” Sharing further information, divisional forest officer Sanjay Bishwal added, “The leopard is 7-8 years old. Usually, big cats prey on humans only when they become too weak to hunt.” The officer added, “The captured leopard would be sent to a zoo soon.” To recall, forest officials had started a combing operation in the area after the leopard killed 25-year Yadunath, a watchman, on October 4.
