The epic 300 km-long journey of a Madhya Pradesh tiger to Gujarat ended on Tuesday with recovery of its decomposed carcass. Last week, MP forest officials had written to Gujarat to “take care of it”. Sources in MP forest department suspect the tiger was poisoned.
The carcass was found in a forest area of Mahisagar district on Tuesday. Vadodara chief conservator of forests S K Shrivastava told that the tiger was found dead around 12km from the place where it was clicked the last time on camera trap last week.
Rajeev Gupta, additional chief secretary, forests and environment, told, “As per the primary information that we have received, the tiger died two or three days ago. However, all four legs and its claws were intact and there are no injury marks.”
