The incident took place at Medhi Suti under East Dhakuakhana Gaon Panchayat when a group of people attacked a spotted deer that was seen roaming openly in that area.

The severely injured deer was rescued by another group of villagers and they informed the Police and Forest departments. But the deer succumbed to the injuries before the arrival of the Forest personnel.
