Three poachers entered the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve on Friday night, snatched a rifle from the forest department team, and escaped after hunting two chitals.
The wildlife team succeeded in freeing the injured female leopard with lots of strenuous efforts but could not save her life as she died while being taken for treatment, the official said.
He also informed that the six poachers on the run have been identified.
On realising the presence of Indian Coast Guard ship, the boats increased speed and entered shallow waters to evade capture. The ship chased the boats but could not go near due to depth restrictions. Hence, it shared the information with one of ICG's air cushion vehicles operating in area. The coordinated operation resulted in apprehension of three Bangladeshi boats along with 88 poachers.
The gang was actively indulged in wildlife poaching activity in recent past. They were adept in the poaching of wild boar and deer species.
