Following this, they shifted the location and fixed the camera nearly 300 metres away from the waterhole, where possibility of the animal movement was high.
The authorities also posted a team on the spot where leopard sighting was reported. The team included dorest range officer, foresters, guards and watchers.
A senior officer said the team stayed overnight in the area. The team would continue their halt in the area on Sunday night too, they said.
