Pilibhit (Uttar Pradesh), June 10 (SocialNews.XYZ) A tigress, which had attacked a number of people in the area, was finally tranquilised and caught by a team of forest officials on Tuesday night.
The team of officials from Jim Corbett, Dudhwa and Pilibhit tiger reserves had been tracking the tigress for some time and it finally managed to zero in on her on Tuesday night.
The big cat was tranquilised and put into a cage and taken to the Gadha guest house. She was transported to the Kanpur Zoo on Wednesday, said Pilibhit Tiger Reserve field director, Rajamohan.
On Monday night, the tigress had attacked a farmer who later died, following which the local people had vandalised the forest ranger's office in protest.
