A leopard walked into a trap laid by Forest officials at Ammunje in Uppoor in Udupi district.
Ten days ago, a CCTV footage had captured images of a leopard jumping the electric fence of a plantation owned by an entrepreneur Rathnakar D Shetty.
Forest officials keeping the safety of villagers in mind had placed a cage to capture the leopard.
The officials later released the captured leopard inside the forest at Hulikal Ghat, sources added.
