Leopard found dead in a well near Talegaon

Amravati: A six-year-old male leopard was found dead in a well in Kekatpur forest near Talegaon Thakur town, about 40km from here, on Thursday.
A farm chowkidar noticed the carcass this morning when he noticed foul smell coming out from the well.
The matter was reported to Teosa forest department which rushed to the spot, summoned a rescue team and fished out the carcass from the well.
The leopard is believed to have fallen in the well about three days back. With water sources in the forest drying out, the wildlife is coming towards towns in search of water. This has spread fear in the townsmen.
The carcass was consigned to flames after doing a spot panchanama, forest sources said.
