Briefly translated from Gujarati

In relation to incidence in which prime a male lion of  about 9 years died, M. M. Sharma (Conservator of forest) informed that it is assumed that lion was walking on the right hand side of the bridge on Junagadh – Talala road, and a vehicle may have come from the opposite side. From pig-marks found on the bridge it is assumed that lion may have started due its-light and jumped into the river. After that a white coloured Indica car stopped for tea at Sasan tea-stall and informed the hawker about the incidence. The hawker informed forest department immediately. Forest department is searching this car owner to find out the facts.
