Digital Desk: In a tragic incident, a suspected poacher was allegedly shot dead by forest rangers of Kaziranga National Park on Saturday morning.

The encounter took place in the area of Agratali, which is tucked away in the vastness of Kaziranga National Park. According to reports, the poacher was eliminated near a forest camp located on the eastern edge of the park, inside the Rangamataria range. 

The poacher succumbed to bullet wounds he received during the gunfight with the alert forest officials who were there to protect the park's wildlife, according to details of the encounter. Park rangers attacked the poacher with courage and determination, and they prevailed in the face of danger.
