Chandrapur: A carcass of a leopard was found on the engine of a goods train in Maharashtra's Chandrapur district on Tuesday, a senior forest official said.

The carcass was discovered by railway officials on the train that arrived at a railway siding in Ghugus town under Chandrapur forest range, the official said.

The leopard might have climbed on the train's engine and could have come in contact with a high-tension electric wire and died, range forest officer Rahul Karekar said.

"Personnel from the forest department and railways removed the carcass of a four-year-old leopard from the engine. It was shifted to Transit Treatment Centre, Chandrapur, for autopsy," he said.
