Headless Leopard Carcass Found in Madhya Pradesh Forest, Poaching Suspected
A headless and mutilated leopard carcass was found in a protected forest area in Madhya Pradesh's Guna district, prompting suspicion of poaching for its claws and teeth. The carcass was discovered in the Agra-Hansli forest, about 45 km from the district headquarters. Forest officials, including Chief Conservator Adarsh Srivastava, are investigating all possibilities, questioning local residents and known wildlife offenders. The remains have been sent for post-mortem and forensic analysis. Madhya Pradesh has the highest leopard population in India, and poaching is a non-bailable offence under the Wildlife Protection Act.
