Leopard Killed by Mob Following Attack on Man in Assam's Duliajan

In Duliajan, Assam, a leopard was killed by an angry mob after it attacked a local man, Rubul Dutta, who was injured and hospitalized. Residents reported frequent leopard sightings in the area and claimed they had repeatedly informed the Forest Department, which took no effective action. Locals link increased human-leopard encounters to shrinking forest cover and habitat disturbance, causing leopards to enter residential areas in search of food.
