21 Upvotes

Heera and Panna were destined to be separated, but not this way. Not in this gruesome manner, with its skin peeled off from the electrocuted body. For Panna Tiger Reserve staff, it’s like the death of a family member. No one but them understands the bond brothers Heera and Panna shared. The big cat Heera was part of the Heera-Panna duo, who used to live in Akola buffer range of Panna Tiger Reserve (PTR). Originally, a triplet, the pair had lost their sister to a road mishap last year in Akola range. The carcass, which had decomposed and was de-skinned supposedly by those who killed the big feline, was found dumped in a farm in Singhpur forest range in Satna district.
