In another instance of human-animal conflict, a radio-collared tiger from the Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve (TATR) was found electrocuted on Saturday. The sub-adult tiger was the offspring of legendary tigress Chotitara and tiger Matkasur. The farmer on whose farm he was found, was arrested for installing non-prescribed electric fencing.

A Forest Department official said, "The body of the sub-adult radio-collared tiger was found at 10 pm on Saturday inside a farm in Bhamdeli in the Moharli buffer zone of TATR. The post mortem reveals that the tiger was electrocuted and the farm owner has been arrested."
