Indian leopard rescued from spot of bother

A leopard trapped near a private tea estate in southern India's Coimbatore city was rescued by forest officials.

The leopard was struggling for more than four hours; but thanks to rangers and other staff the Leopard was eventually freed.



The manager of the estate was arrested for trapping and keeping the unassuming animal illegally. Rajeev Sreevastava, the chief conservator of forest (CCF) assured the public that there would be strict action against those who are involved in the matter.

Authorities were informed that this was not the first time the tea estate manager had been involved in such acts, he had also trapped many wild pigs.
