He overruled the possibility of foul play in the death claiming that all the valuable body parts of the feline were intact. He further informed that the carcass was 8-10 days old and hence, is in a highly-decomposed state. The veterinary doctor who visited the spot even failed to identify the sex of the feline due to its condition.
Earlier, a tiger, injured in a territorial fight with another tiger, had died in the same Chandrapur (buffer) range on February 26. This is the seventh tiger death in Chandrapur district this year.
A total of 40 tigers have died in the country since January this year. Out of these, nine were from Maharashtra with Chandrapur accounting for seven.
