Tigress electrocuted in Kabini backwaters
August 2, 2018
Mysuru: A four-year-old tigress’ carcass was discovered in the Kabini backwaters on Wednesday morning. Officials of Karnataka Forest Department opined that the tigress had been electrocuted near a farm.
The farm owners had removed the nails of the animal. But, fearing reprisal, they had discarded the carcass along with the nails (stashed together in a plastic cover) in the backwaters adjoining the Jungle Lodges and Resorts.
During post-mortem, the vet concluded that the tigress had died due to electrocution as its heart had been reduced to ashes.
Investigations are on. Suspects are absconding from the village adjoining Nagarhole Tiger Reserve.
