The team of the forest department is continuously monitoring their movements.Kuno Wildlife Circle, Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) Prakash Kumar Verma told over phone, "Asha is roaming within the Kuno National Park itself. Oban is definitely out of Kuno Park. Now he is towards the forest of Shivpuri. Oban had also hunted a black buck on Wednesday. Our team is keeping a watch on the cheetahs for 24 hours."According to reports, Oban crossed the Kuno National Park on Sunday. He has been visiting different forest areas which are adjacent to Kuno.Even on Thursday, the location of Oban was traced outside the boundary of Kuno National Park.
