A controversy has erupted over the eight cheetahs brought in from Namibia and released by Prime Minister Narendra Modi into Madhya Pradesh's Kuno National Park last week. Following reports that deer were being fed to the cheetahs, a Bishnoi community organization has sought Modi's intervention to end the practice. It alleged that deer were being "dropped" into the park to feed the big cats.
