Migrating tiger enters Marathwada, attacks group

Principal Chief Conservator of Forest (Wildlife) Nitin Kakodkar told The Indian Express, “it was radio-collated in February and since then we have been tracking its movement. On Saturday, an attack was reported on a group of men, in which one person had claw marks on his back. He is now fine and others didn’t get any serious injury.”

“We have deployed a monitoring team to keep watch on his movement to prevent any further such attack. Actually, during the past several months, it has moved close to human settlements but hasn’t caused any alarm. So we need to study the circumstances of today’s incident to find out why he must have attacked the group” he added.
