Young tiger captured in Yavatmal after fatal attack on man

Last year, too, a tigress was captured after it killed a woman in Pandharkawda division, also in Yavatmal district. “In this case, too, the tiger was roaming in fields and close to human settlements. We tried to make it go away, but it would remain unfazed. So we requested principal chief conservator of forest (wildlife) Sunil Limaye to issue the capture order, which he granted on Monday. And we managed to cage the tiger,” Jagtap said.

The tiger was brought to Nagpur’s transit treatment centre. “Higher authorities will take the next call on the tiger’s future,” Jagtap said.
