The one-horned rhino was found with its horn hacked off and
removed in Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary about 28miles East of the city of
Guwahati.
Forest officials shot dead two of the poachers inside the
sanctuary after exchanging fire at the scene of the killing.
A total of eight poachers entered the sanctuary and hunted
down the lone rhino in the early hours of Wednesday. Security staff heard gunshots around
1am and arrived at the scene to catch the poachers in the act.
Two men were killed in a gunfight, while the rest of the gang
managed to flee with the horn.
