Leopard found dead in Gurugram, injuries found on carcass

GURUGRAM: A one-and-a-half year old

female leopard

was found dead on Tuesday morning in

Gairatpur Bas village

near

Raisina area

.

Shockingly, a few injury marks were found in the neck area of the carcass. The carcass was found near a pond.

"These injuries could be by another animal. However, we can't say anything at the moment. The carcass has been sent for postmortem," said a senior official from the

district wildlife department

.

A five-member district wildlife team led by veterinary surgeon

Dr Ashok Khasa

and wildlife inspector Sunil Kumar rushed to the spot after they received a tip-off that the dead animal was lying in the hills.

In November 2017, a big cat was found dead in the same area. The department, after conducting the post mortem, claimed that the big cat died after falling into a 100-foot-deep old mining pit.
