A leopard that strayed into Narsinghpur village here on Wednesday and injured a 13-year-old boy was captured by forest department officials after seven hours of efforts, police said.
The leopard was spotted in the village around 6 am. A CCTV camera installed at a nearby building captured the feline roaming on the streets inside the village, they said.
