Sharing pictures of the animals, Randeep Hooda took to Twitter on Saturday and wrote that two leopards, two bears and deer were electrocuted in Bhadravati near Chandrapur. The actor claimed that the incident happened despite the movement of the leopard being recorded a few days before. The Kick star added that the forest department claimed that since they did not die on forest land, it was not under its jurisdiction. 

Randeep also said that the wildlife were not going to be monitored by the factory management. He also expressed his displeasure about officials washing hands off when Schedule 1 animals have been killed. Tagging Uddhav Thackeray, PMO, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change and the Secretary General, Global Tiger Forum(GTF), he called for accountablity to prevent such incidents.
