Tiger death: Forest guard among six held

 

29th March 2019

SHAHJAHANPUR: A day after an adult male tiger - caught in a poacher’s snare - died during a botched rescue operation, investigating officer and field director of Dudhwa Tiger Reserve Ramesh Pandey on Thursday arrested six accused, including a forest beat watcher.
Investigation revealed that the tiger was trapped on Tuesday midnight and local forest officials from Maheshpur range of Lakhimpur Kheri district sought the help of rescue team almost 10 hours after the incident.

Poachers had installed the snare near a wheat field in connivance with the watcher to trap a wild boar. But when the tiger was trapped, the watcher did not share any information with senior officials which delayed the rescue operation, says investigation report.
