JABALPUR: A leopard was killed by an electrified fence put up illegally by some villagers in Jabalpur to keep out wild animals from a farm. The carcass was found in the Indrana forest beat on Monday evening, district forest officer Anjana Shuchtia Tirki said. “It was sent to the veterinary hospital for autopsy, which was done on Tuesday. Prima facie, vets suspect electrocution was the cause of death,” she added.
The site is around 40km north of Jabalpur city.
