The Forest Department has deputed two trained elephants to aid the operation to capture the elusive leopard in Belagavi.
Arjun, 20, and Ale, 14, were sent in lorries from the Sakrebail camp in Shivamogga district. They are expected to arrive by Wednesday.
The elephants are expected to drive out the leopard from its hiding places and make it run in the open, so that it can be captured, officers said.
