Tigress who had preyed on three women captured

A tigress who had killed at least three women last month and was roaming in Shivni range of forests in buffer zone of Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve (TATR) was captured by forest personnel today.

"The feline was spotted in compartment no-233 under Shivni beat in morning and was tranquillised successfully. The tigress was shifted to Moharli nursery in a cage for preliminary medical checkup," a department release stated.

According to foresters, the behaviour of the tigress was found to be unusual and she was often sighted in the farms adjoining the villages in Brahmapuri and Sindewahi range of forests under TATR buffer zone since last month.
