"The body of a lioness was found in the well of a farm at Fifat village. Injury marks were found on her body after it was inspected," state forest department officials said.
"It was revealed that the animal's neck was caught in a trap laid by the farm owner to stop wild animals from entering his field," officials said.
"The body was later dragged to the well and thrown inside it to make it look like an accidental death due to drowning," officials said.
