Junagadh: A leopard that had fallen into a swimming pool at the farmhouse of Popat Vaghasiya in Visavadar taluka injured a farmer on Saturday morning before escaping into the forest. According to forest officials, the leopard had fallen into the swimming pool of Vaghasiya's farmhouse on Friday night. "We rushed to the site and placed a cage outside the pool to trap the big cat," said a forester. "The next morning our plan to trap him went awry after the cage fell into the pool as its rope snapped. This agitated the leopard so much that it climbed atop the floating cage in the pool and jumped out of the pool," he said. 'As a large crowd had gathered at the spot, the big cat bit farmer Mansukh Vadodariya in his leg before vanishing in the forest," he added, SOURCE : SANDESH
