Alwar: The carcasses of three panthers in the Dehra district, including one female and two cubs have brought a lump in the throats of animal lovers in the region. Forest officials said that the animals died in the Amritwas village due to electrocution after a power line broke. They have demanded an immediate relocation of the lines.
Officials of the forest department rushed to the spot late on Friday night and found the charred bodies of the panthers, which were two to three days old, and sent it for post-mortem at the Naya Bas office of Alwar Forest Division.

Alwar Forest Division Divisional Forest Officer (DFO), Rajendra Kumar Hooda said that the panthers came in contact with the broken line, due to which they died on the spot.
