PUNE: Three
leopards, including two cubs, were found dead in Bhor tehsil, 40 kilometres
from the district headquarters, said forest officials.
Forest officials said that all three leopards, two females and
one male, were found dead in the fields near Divale village, adding that
villagers suspected the leopards died due to poisoning.
An official said that an autopsy had been done and the viscera
of all three dead animals had been preserved and sent to the forensic
laboratory for further examination. He added that a case under relevant
sections of the Forest (Conservation) Act had been registered against
unidentified persons.
Last week, three leopard cubs were found charred to death in a sugarcane field in Junnar tehsil here.
