The Central Government has constituted a high-powered team to look into the pellet-induced death of a leopard cub at Kuno National Park in Madhya Pradesh.
According to the Union Ministry of Environment on Wednesday, the investigation team consists of the Inspector General of Forests (National Tiger Conservation Authority), the Additional Director of the Wildlife Crime Control Bureau, and the Regional Deputy Director.
It may be pointed out that poachers had killed and injured a 19-month-old cub of the female cheetah Nirva. The death occurred on Tuesday when five pellets were discovered in the body of the cub. This was the first ever such incident since the four-year-old cheetah rehabilitation program.
