An open well in a farm in Govindpur village of Dhari taluka of Amreli district claimed the life of a leopard, while another leopard was rescued on Saturday.

According to the forest department, the incident was reported from the farm of Kishore. "As per the farmer's statement, two leopards chasing a calf rushed towards the farm. Unable to spot the well, which had no barricades, they fell in it. While we could tranquillise and save one leopard, the other drowned," said a forester, adding that the big cat's carcass had been sent for post-mortem.
