The rescue team trapped the animal after it attacked a forest official

Preliminary post-mortem reports of the leopard that was killed in an accident in Palghar district on Monday have arrived. According to the report, the spotted cat died of excessive haemorrhage. But, sources from the Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP), where the post-mortem was conducted, have told mid-day that the leopard had a fractured hip, which may have been a result of manhandling during the rescue operation.
