Two beat guards were injured and an official jeep and motorcycle damaged when a mob, led mostly by women, went on a rampage outside the residence of the range forest officer JB Vadi in Gir Sanctuary.

According to sources in the forest department, Vadi had intercepted a group of 20 women from nearby areas who were found wandering in the prohibited area near Tulshishyam on Thursday.

On inquiry, he found that van sahayak BG Savalia, deputed as beat guard at the check post, had allowed the group to enter without valid permission.
