There have been four leopard attacks in India since October 2022, with three woman and an 11-year-old boy dead.
A 31-year-old college student, named Manjunath, was killed in Ukkalagere, India, on October 31, while another student was killed while travelling to see her family for Christmas.
The latest leopard attack comes a matter of days after an 11-year-old boy was mauled to death in Mysore, India.
The five-year-old animal was captured last week in the Horalahalli village.
