Muzaffarabad: The locals killed another rare species of Leopard in Sarai area of Azad Kashmir’s Jhelum Valley.
According to the Islamabad Wildlife Management Board (IWMB), another leopard was killed in a village in Azad Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday.
The leopard had entered the human settlement area in Sarai village of Jhelum valley. While a woman and two others with minor injuries caused by the animal’s attack were transferred to a local hospital.

In a series of tweets, the IWMB chairman said a mob of 200 villagers killed the wild cat in Jhelum Valley’s Hattian Bala.
“Heartbreaking news: yet ANOTHER common leopard killed today in Azad Kashmir by villagers. A mob of 200 attacked leopard who came near village & killed animal mercilessly,” the chairperson tweeted.
The AJK wildlife was not informed about the presence of the wild cat in time, she pointed out, terming the incident “unacceptable”.
