Ahmedabad: Days after two leopards stalking Gandhinagar were caught, one more leopard has been spotted near Dehgam in Gandhinagar district in the last one month.

He said that this leopard is on the move and was spotted in Sabarkantha, Nadiad and Gandhinagar. However, it is roams more in Dehgam area.
