Rhino poaching again

Forest guards in Kaziranga recovered the rhino killed by poachers on Sunday evening.

The carcass was spotted near Borbhag forest camp in Burahpahar range of the world heritage site. The horn was missing.

Poachers were believed to have killed the animal and took away its horn before they locked in an encounter with the forest guards on Sunday evening. There was no casualty in the gun battle.

Forest guards rushed to the spot as soon as they came to hear the sounds of gun shots.  But the poachers managed to flee from the spot.
