Police shoot killer leopard dead
“Police commandos fired 15 bullets to kill the leopard,” Shah told AFP.
The big cat was killed about 200 yards (metres) from the spot where it was thought to have mauled a woman on Friday, he said.
“We are 100 per cent sure it is the same leopard,” Shah said, without specifying how.
The leopard was blamed for fatal attacks on six women who had gone to collect firewood from the mountainous region during the last two weeks.
Shah said the authorities dispatched the commando team over the weekend to hunt down the animal and also warned people to stay away from the forest.
