Leopard kills Indian Buddhist monk meditating in forest

Leopards going to do what leopards do. The monk clearly disregarded situational awareness.

Rahul Walke had been "meditating under a tree" in the Tadoba forest, which is a protected tiger reserve, officials told PTI news agency.

Walke had been attached to a Buddhist temple which is inside the forest, but he had walked to a spot quite far away from it to meditate.


Forest officials said they had warned the monks against going too far inside.


"I would like to tell everyone not to go inside the forest," GP Narawane, a forest official, told BBC Marathi.
