Kaziranga, Assam, Apr 14 (IBNS) A rhino was killed as poachers struck with assault rifles in the Kaziranga National Park on Wednesday night, the day the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visited the abode of one-horned animals, reports said.

A male adult rhino was killed and its horn taken away by armed poachers, reports quoted  KNP Divisional Forest Officer Subhashis Das as saying.

The carcass of the rhino was recovered from a place under Burhapahar range of the Park.
