The tiger that unleashed terror in the Neymakkad area of Munnar was trapped in the cage set up by the Kerala Forest officials at Munnar on Wednesday night.
The animal, which was found moving towards Eravikulam, returned to Neymakkad on Tuesday night at around 8:30 p.m. only to walk into the trap set up by the Forest officials.
A decision on whether the tiger shall be released back to the wild or kept in captivity will be taken by a six-member committee formed as per the guidelines of the National Tiger Conservation Authority, said Raju Francis, Divisional Forest Officer, Munnar Forest Division.
