The male rhino was found in an injured state in Khorsor area in eastern parts of CNP. The condition of the injured rhino is becoming critical as Nepal does not have any technology to extract bullet from the body.
Officials at CNP found the rhino with critical head injury two days ago. Currently, the rhino is under protection of CNP officials and security officials.
Altogether nine rhinos have been killed since the rhino census conducted last year. The census had shown that Nepal had a total 408 endangered one-hornd rhinos back then.
In another recent case, one female rhino in her mid-twenties was found killed on February 13.
