Suspected smugglers have killed another blackbuck in Bihar's Buxar district, forest officials said Saturday.

It is the second incident within a month when a blackbuck was found dead in Buxar, about 125 km from here.

"We have found the body of a blackbuck near Rasen village Friday," said Sashibhusan Jha, a district forest official.

Jha said some body parts of the blackbuck were found missing such as its horn and skin. "It seems smugglers killed the blackbuck for its horn and skin," he said.

Jha said eight people have been found to be associated with the case and a man was arrested in this connection.
