Nomad tiger fails to settle in the wild, may spend life behind bars

The nomad tiger from Maharashtra, which made headlines in 2018 for the longest dispersal in the quickest time in the country, may have to spend the rest of its life behind bars for three human kills. The five-year-old, 180-kg male had wandered 510 km, from Chandrapur in Maharashtra to Palaspani in MP’s Betul — killing three humans on the way — in search of new territory between August and December 2018.The authorities have declared it “dangerous” to human life in compliance with the 2019 NTCA guidelines and decided to keep it in an enclosure.
