Though the authorities turn down that the trap was laid in the area but eye witnesses say that they have themselves seen the animal had fallen in a trap laid by the hunters.
The people working for the protection of wild life animals in the State and country have expressed their serious concern over the failure of the authorities in ensuring security to wild animals who play an important role in protection of environment and making ecological balances.
