Bantwal forest officials on Tuesday December 18 visited the spot and handed over the carcass to veterinary doctors for examination, after which it was buried.

The stag had not been noticed in the vicinity before. Forest officials suspect that it may have lost its way and strayed into the area.

    Such Stags are found in Maryhill near the IGP's house & helipad. If one travels at night they could be lucky to see. Remember, they are wild animals and could attack.
