Forest Dept Investigates After Buffalo Calves' Mysterious Deaths in Gandhinagar
Two baby buffaloes died in a village near Ahmedabad.
The forest department thinks dogs might have killed them, not wild animals like leopards.
They're checking the area and using a cage with bait to find out for sure.
If it was a wild animal, the farmer would get money from the government.
