IIT Bombay campus leopard remains elusive

MUMBAI: Forest department officials carried out search operations at mid night from 2am to 3.30am on Saturday in the metallurgical workshop of IIT Bombay where a leopard was spotted by the lab employees on July 23. Surprisngly, no leopard was found and the forest department officials handed over the workshop to the IIT authorities.

The big cat turned out to be smarter and had managed to escape, forest officials said despite them trying to seal all possible exit points. However, the huge size of the workshop made it difficult for the officials to net the animal. Some exit points like broken windows of the workshop had not been netted which could have been used by the leopard to escape.

"No leopard was found in the lab despite carrying out our search and combing operations at midnight. On Wednesday, two lab assistants from the neighboring lab spotted the big cat. Later, two staffers from the metallurgical workshop then sighted the leopard and immediately shut the entrance. By Wednesday noon, our rescue van reached the spot and since then we were waiting to trap the leopard," K D Thakare, deputy conservator of forest (territorial), Thane, said.

Several strategies like sending in robots with night vision cameras and two forest personnel in a caged trolley proved unsuccessful to trap the leopard.
