A leopard that strayed into Narsinghpur village in Gurugram on Wednesday and injured a 13-year-old boy was captured by forest department officials after seven hours of efforts, police said.
The leopard was spotted in the village around 6 am. A CCTV camera installed at a nearby building captured the feline roaming on the streets inside the village, they said.
Varun Dahiya, assistant commissioner of police, said a team of 15 police personnel was deployed for the safe rescue of the animal and the safety of the residents. When the leopard entered a house, the teenage boy, Prabhat, came outside and was attacked by the animal, a senior police officer said.
He got injuries on his legs and back and was rushed to civil hospital for treatment, the officer said.
