The Palm civet was spotted at a commercial complex in Kaikamba at about 2 pm. The onlookers who were petrified by the rare guest ran helter-skelter.
Soon local residents Neelakant Kalkatta, Abdul Majeed, Kishore, Samad Kaikamba and Kishan plunged into action and captured the Civet.
The forest officials who came to the spot put the animal inside a cage. Soon, the Civet launched a successful escape bid. It then jumped over a compound wall and sat on a root of a tree.
The team comprising of Neelkant, Abdul Majeed, Kishan and others launched an operation to catch the animal all over again. Though they succeeded in nabbed the animal, Kishan was injured as the angry animal attacked him.
However, what was surprising was the attitude of forest officials who remained to be spectators while the localites struggled to capture the civet.
