“A female leopard has been rescued by our team in Nashik’s Deolali camp area. It is around 3-4-year-old and is in healthy condition. We will release in a forest soon,” Ganesh Rao Jhole, Forest Officer said.

Meanwhile on Monday, in connection with leopard skin smuggling, four people were arrested by the Forest Department West from Nashik.

“Forest Dept West apprehended leopard skin smugglers from Igatpuri Aboli village in Nashik. Four accused have been caught with leopard skin. We are doing the interrogation and will try to investigate if they have any international links,” Pankaj Garg, the Deputy Forest Conservator said.
