The leopard was tranquillised after being lured out with meat in two cages.
The leopard scare had brought work to a standstill as thousands of workers had to wait outside for it to be caught.
"It will be released into the forest after a medical examination. The animal did not hurt anyone," conservator of wildlife Vinod Kumar told PTI.
