This incident was preceded by another one 3 days ago where police officers in Assam’s Baihata Chariali obtained a blood-stained rhino horn from three victims of a fatal road accident. From the evidence, it was clear that they were poachers on the run after killing a rhino and removing its horn.
According to Assam’s Forest Minister Pramila Rani Brahma, the three victims had killed the rhino somewhere near Kaziranga National Park and were trying to escape when they met with the accident.
