Two `man-eater’ leopards that were captured last year and released back in the wild about 3 weeks ago are suspected to be behind attacks on humans in and around Sariska in the northern Indian state of Rajasthan.
The leopards were released after being surgically castrated in the zoo to make them less aggressive, according to the Indian Express newspaper.
At least four villagers have died in leopard attacks since their release.

India’s method of estimating tiger population could be adopted by five Southeast Asian nations, if a proposal of the Global Tiger Forum (GTF) goes through, according to a report by The Hindustan Times.
Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, Indonesia and Myanmar are the five countries identified by GTF for replicating India’s methodology, which will introduced during a workshop in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in November. Malaysia and Indonesia are incidentally referred to as Tiger economies, a nickname they derived after witnessing an investment boom between late 1980s and mid-1990s.
The GTF, formed in 1994, is the world’s only intergovernmental organisation dedicated to tiger conservation, the Hindustan Times reports. The GTF membership includes seven tiger range countries: Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Cambodia, Myanmar, Nepal and Vietnam.
