According to the villagers, the leopard was creating nuisance in the area and used to prey on stray dogs at night.
The forest officials laid a trap at a spot in the village, but the leopard did not turn up.
The forest officials then laid a trap at another place at Zarichwada, where the leopard was trapped in the cage.
The locals further said there are other leopards wandering in the Usgao jungle.
