MYSURU: Forest department officials successfully caught the leopard which entered Banana Plantain, at Uttanhalli, Chamundi Hills Road, in Mysuru on Tuesday.

The leopard entered the shed of a banana trader Rajanna and attacked one of the dogs and savored it. Later it spent the whole night in the hut itself. Ramakrishna who was fast asleep miraculous escaped after he woke up to find a leopard sleeping beside him.

"I heard some strange sounds near me. First I thought it was my pet dog and then I put out my right hand outside the mosquito net and I ran my hands over the leopard thinking it was my dog. When I opened my eyes, I was shocked to see the leopard sleeping next to me. I managed to run out and called forest department," Ramakrishna said.

Forest department officials reached the spot and captured the leopard. They shifted it to Mysuru Zoo's Chamundi Animal Rescue and Rehabilitation center.
