Wildlife Warden, Jammu, Anil Attri earlier told that they received information about a leopard cub roaming in the area following which they sent their teams to capture it.
As the rescue team of Wildlife Department officials was trying to capture the wild cat, a seemingly adult leopard as seen in a purported video of the incident circulating on the internet, it pounces on a man while a second man manages to scare it away with a rod or a stick.
Officials and eyewitnesses too confirmed that a man had been injured in the attack by the wild cat which the Wildlife Department officials managed to capture alive after tranquilization.
They identified the injured as Ganga Ram, who an official said has been shifted to the nearby hospital for treatment.
