Subsequently, representatives from the forest department arrived at the scene, accompanied by a rescue team from Ujjain. Together with the Dewas Forest Department staff, they successfully rescued the leopard. The Sub Divisional Officer, Santosh Shukla, noted that the leopard did not exhibit any visible injuries. Nonetheless, he hypothesized that the leopard might be unwell or could have consumed an excessive amount of food.
