CHANDRAPUR: A sub-adult leopardess drowned in a sump at the Western Coalfields Limited (WCL), Durgapur sector-II mine. The leopardess’s carcass — stuck over the pipe of a water pump — was recovered on Tuesday morning.
A team of foresters led by Chandrapur range forest officer Rahul Karekar rushed to the spot on learning about the incident. Karekar explained that the beast is likely to have been pursuing some prey through the mine.
