Bengal: Car runs over leopard in Alipurduar, driver tries to flee with carcass

The police in Bengal's Alipurduar were looking for two people who ran over a leopard and then tried to flee with its carcass.

A manhunt was underway for two people who allegedly tried to flee with the carcass of a leopard as it died after being hit by their car in West Bengal’s Alipurduar district, officials said on Friday. The full-grown leopard was run over by the MUV on a highway near Jaldapara sanctuary on Thursday, they said. Those in the car took the carcass and sped away but the police on getting a tip-off stopped them after a few kilometres, officials said.
