However, they were inspecting the area to see pug marks and gather other details to confirm whether it was a leopard or a wild cat. The forest teams were focussing their search operation around the Metro Rail depot which is located next to the station and has some open scrub area.
The forest officials with the help of police installed camera traps to monitor the leopard’s movements. The officials suspect after emerging into the open briefly, the leopard may have retreated into the depot.
