A two-year-old tigress that strayed into a village in the buffer zone of Dudhwa Tiger Reserve and attacked two people was killed allegedly by villagers on Wednesday, officials said.<\/p>\n
In a separate incident, a tiger was killed in a road accident that took place under the Mailani range of the Dudhwa Tiger Reserve (DTR), they said.<\/p>\n
In the first incident, the angry villagers of Phulwaria clubbed the tigress to death on the spot.<\/p>\n
Saureesh Sahai, the Dudhwa Buffer Zone deputy director, said forest officials retrieved the carcass from the village in the Palia tehsil and sent it to the range headquarters.<\/p>\n
A case against unidentified persons was lodged at Palia police station under provisions of the Wild Life (Protection) Act and a probe was taken up, he added.<\/p>\n
The injured villagers were admitted to the hospital where their condition was stated to be stable.<\/p>\n
Sahai said the animal’s postmortem was conducted according to National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) guidelines and the viscera was sent to ICAR-Indian Veterinary Research Institute, Bareilly, for detailed analysis.<\/p>\n
A few hours after the Phulwaria incident in the Dudhwa buffer zone, a speeding vehicle hit a male tiger on the Bhira-Mailani highway under the Mailani range of DTR.<\/p>\n
Field director of DTR H Rajamohan confirmed the death of a male tiger in a road accident and said errant driver Laxman Saud along with his car was taken into custody.<\/p>\n
Deputy director, DTR, Rengaraju T said a case under appropriate sections of the Wild Life (Protection) Act has been lodged and the driver sent to jail.<\/p>\n
He added that the postmortem of the carcass was carried out as per NTCA guidelines.<\/p>\n
