Not the window* it is taken from the top by removing the asbestos sheet. The forest department tried to catch the leopard by removing the sheet and tranquilising it but the leopard escaped.

The dog and the leopard were inside the toilet from at least 7 am till 2 pm.
A plan was hatched to trap the tiger in a net from the top of the toilet. But the leopard proved to be too strong, broke free and ran away. pic.twitter.com/ZFZgtDWkH0

As per reports, Forest Department officers brought tranquillizer darts to sedate leopard and move it back to the forest. However, the animal managed to escape by breaking the roof and nets at around 2 pm. The forest Department managed to rescue the dog alive who was later identified as Bollu by the locals. What is shocking about the whole incident is leopard didn't attack the dog even after chasing the dog and getting locked. Also, its not less than a miracle.
