Guwahati, June 8 (IBNS) : Poachers killed another one-horned rhino in Assam's Kaziranga National Park (KNP) on Tuesday night when the state forest minister and two of his cabinet colleagues were present in the sanctuary.

Official reports said the audacious act took place near the Dimow forest camp area under Agoratoli range office inside the park.

Poachers killed the rhino when three cabinet ministers of the state government, including forest minister Pramila Rani Brahma and top officials of the forest department, were on a visit to  the World Heritage site.

Meanwhile, the Assam forest minister has ordered a probe into the rhino killing.

Poachers have killed 10 rhinos alone in Kaziranga  this year so far.

In the past 15 years, over 200 rhinos were poached in the north- eastern Indian state.
