Mangaluru: A dog was accidentally trapped in a cage that was set up to capture a leopard in the city. The incident took place near Doctors Lane in Kaibattalu, Kadri.

For the past few days, residents of Kadri have reported sightings of a leopard during the night. Following these reports, the Forest Department placed a cage near Nagabana on Wednesday to capture the animal.

However, on Thursday morning, locals found that a dog had been trapped inside the cage instead of the leopard. Residents safely released the dog from the cage.

The Forest Department has continued its operation to trace and capture the leopard. Officials have once again placed a cage near Nagabana and are closely monitoring the area.

There are also rumors that the leopard was spotted near Pumpwell. Sightings have also been reported near the Mangalore International Airport.

Based on these reports, another cage has been placed in the Tarabari field area of Kenjar. Authorities are regularly placing cages around the airport surroundings as a precautionary measure.

Forest officials have urged residents to remain alert and report any sightings immediately.
