Did poachers poison the carcasses of 3 elephants to kill 537 vultures (468 white-backed vultures, 17 white-headed vultures, 28 hooded vultures, all critically endangered, and 14 lappet-faced vultures and 10 cape vultures, also endangered) and 2 tawny eagles in northern Botswana, because vultures help rangers to track poaching activity by circling in the sky where there are dead animals?

Is this how the Tiger Parks are managed in India?

Although they didn't harass or attack the leopard, they took a huge risk:

The areas that the reckless guys are around have some of the highest Human-Leopard conflicts in the world.
Leopards have killed people in these Northern States.

There is a possibility that the Leopard they were close may have tasted human flesh.

Bushwalk foot-safari experience in Africa... India should start this in the multi-use buffer zones too. That'll generate more tourism income for the locals there & give them an incentive for king out for the wildlife around them.

Examining human–carnivore interactions using a socio-ecological framework: sympatric wild canids in India as a case study
Abstract
Many carnivores inhabit human-dominated landscapes outside protected reserves. Spatially explicit assessments of carnivore distributions and livestock depredation patterns in human-use landscapes are crucial for minimizing negative interactions and fostering coexistence between people and predators. India harbours 23% of the world's carnivore species that share space with 1.3 billion people in approximately 2.3% of the global land area. We examined carnivore distributions and human–carnivore interactions in a multi-use forest landscape in central India. We focused on five sympatric carnivore species: Indian grey wolf Canis lupus pallipes, dhole Cuon alpinus, Indian jackal Canis aureus indicus, Indian fox Vulpes bengalensis and striped hyena Hyaena hyaena. Carnivore occupancy ranged from 12% for dholes to 86% for jackals, mostly influenced by forests, open scrublands and terrain ruggedness. Livestock/poultry depredation probability in the landscape ranged from 21% for dholes to greater than 95% for jackals, influenced by land cover and livestock- or poultry-holding. The five species also showed high spatial overlap with free-ranging dogs, suggesting potential competitive interactions and disease risks, with consequences for human health and safety. Our study provides insights on factors that facilitate and impede co-occurrence between people and predators. Spatial prioritization of carnivore-rich areas and conflict-prone locations could facilitate human–carnivore coexistence in shared habitats. Our framework is ideally suited for making socio-ecological assessments of human–carnivore interactions in other multi-use landscapes and regions, worldwide.

From wikipedia:
Indian wolves have a history of preying on children, a phenomenon called "child-lifting". In 1878, 624 people were killed by wolves in Uttar Pradesh, and 14 others were killed in Bengal during the same period.[35] In 1900, 285 people were killed in the Central Provinces.[36] Between 1910 and 1915, 115 children were killed by wolves in Hazaribagh, and 122 were killed in the same area in 1980–1986. In Jaunpur, Pratapgarh and Sultanpur in Uttar Pradesh, wolves killed 21 children and mauled 16 others from March 27, 1996 to July 1, 1996. Between April 1993 and April 1995, five wolf packs attacked 80 children, 20 of whom were rescued, in Hazaribagh, West Koderma and Latehar Forest Divisions. The children were taken primarily in the summer period in the evening hours, and often within human settlements.[35]

At least scratching your name onto a captive rhino's back without, and then erasing it, without causing much discomfort, is not as outrageous as cases of poaching the wild:
