After a two-day search operation, authorities on Friday night successfully captured a leopard that attacked a three-year-old on the path of Tirumala.
The wild cat was captured and secured in a cage at around 10:45 pm after authorities strategically managed to place two baited traps.
During the mission 150 CCTV cameras were installed across different areas as a precautionary measure.
The incident occurred on Thursday at the 7th mile along the Alipiri-Tirumala pedestrian route in Tirumala.
The boy has been identified as Kaushik from Adoni in the Kurnool district. Immediately after the incident, the injured boy was rushed to the hospital.
