SWD launches probe into leopard’s killing
Medical examination reveals big cat was starving when it was shot dead
KARACHI:
The Sindh wildlife department has launched an investigation into the killing of an Indian leopard in Islamkot s Saroonghwari village on Monday.
Believed to have crossed into Islamkot from India s Rajasthan state, the leopard, called Achho Chitto in local vernacular, had reportedly mauled eight villagers before it was killed.
With the villagers maintaining that they gunned down the big cat in retaliation after it attacked them, the SWD has launched an investigation into the matter to confirm their account.
According to SWD provincial head Javed Ahmed Mahar, This animal [the leopard] doesn t attack humans for food. It is scared of being around humans and stays at a distance from areas inhabited by humans. Mahar added that leopards usually liked thick forest, adding that there was no jungle in the region where he was shot.
