Forest officials said the carcass of the male rhino was recovered around noon today. Several rounds of used .303 rifle cartridges were found near the carcass. Forest guards were alerted after they heard gunshots last evening. The search began early on Tuesday morning. " We have closed most of the likely entry and exit points to the park.
