On Thursday, officials reported that a second leopard had been captured at Tirumala Footway. After a six-year-old girl named Lakshitha was killed in a leopard attack last week, this is the second leopard from Tirumala to be captured in 50 days, and it’s the third leopard to be caught in Tirupathi.

Forest officials say that three leopards are moving about in the Tirumala footway. Cages are set up in three areas to trap the remaining leopard. Cages are set up at Mokali Mettu (steps) at Lakshminarasimhaswamy Temple on the 35th turn of the Ghat road.
In the span of four days, forest officials caught two leopards, moved them to Sri Venkateswara Zoological Park (SV Zoo Park), and identified the leopard that attacked a girl child and killed her two days ago in Tirumala.
