A 12-year-old tiger, identified as T-86, was allegedly killed by villagers in Uliyana near Rajasthan's Ranthambore Tiger Reserve. The attack followed accusations that the tiger had killed a local resident.
T-86's body showed clear signs of assault, with injury marks from stones and sharp objects. The attack reportedly involved about two dozen villagers after 51-year-old Bharat Lal Meena was killed by a tiger while tending to his goats.
The incident has sparked tensions, resulting in villagers blocking the Sawai Madhopur-Kundera road. Officials are currently conducting a postmortem of the tiger, as the Ranthambore Tiger Reserve faces scrutiny over wildlife management.
