Faridkot, February 19

Hours after a sambar, which had strayed into a residential area here today, was rescued, the animal reportedly died of high dose of tranquiliser this evening. It is believed that after his rescue-cum-capture, it was given a high dose of tranquiliser, which caused his death minutes after it was released into the forest. The sambar had entered the Teacher Colony area, where its presence created panic among residents because of its huge antlers.
