According to reports, the villagers were able to track the fishing cat with the help of sniffer dogs. The cheetah, according to the people of the village, had made their lives miserable by hunting and killing their cattle. When the carnivorous animal came out to prey, the villagers tracked it down and managed to kill it while another fishing cat escaped.
The villagers said that they had repeatedly informed the wildlife department about the fishing cat killing their livestock but they hadn’t taken any action.
