A suspected poacher was killed in the Agaratoli Range of the 1,300 sq. km. Kaziranga National Park and Tiger Reserve after an early morning encounter with patrolling and surveillance parties on Saturday.
Wildlife officials said a patrolling party stationed near the Erasuti anti-poaching camp, following inputs regarding armed men in the park, intercepted a few unknown persons before dawn. A gun battle broke out after the intruders were challenged, they said.
