If Nawab Shafat Ali Khan had his way, he'd build a wall to keep all the tigers and elephants out, and he'd make them pay for it, too, at least figuratively. In an exclusive interview with mid-day, the controversial hunter called Yavatmal's man-eating tigress a terrorist and murderer. He claimed that killing tigers makes him cry, but also said he is perfectly comfortable posing with the body after he has shot it.

The forest department kicked up quite a storm with its decision to rope in the Hyderabadi hunter in the mission to rescue man-eating tigress T1 in Yavatmal. However, speaking to this reporter at Pandharkawda, Khan said, "I have no desire to shoot the tiger, or even capture it; they have called me because they are incompetent."
