Madikeri: A video of a tiger moving freely in a coffee estate in Kodagu has gone viral on social media.
According to sources, Adeganda Dinesh, a resident of Balele village, and his family were on their way to Rajapura village in a car on Saturday evening when they spotted a tiger in a coffee estate. When Dinesh and his family was driving through a private estate owned by Podamanda Ashok, they were shocked to see a lone tiger walking in the pathway of the coffee estate. The incident occurred around 5.20 pm near Nagarahole forests.
Rolling up the car window, Dinesh halted his vehicle and shot a video of the tiger walking through the estate. Dinesh stated that the tiger looked back at the car and then walked into the estate.
The video shared by Dinesh indicates that the tiger has some minor injuries on its hind limbs, which might have forced it to enter the estate to look for an easy meal. The residents of Balele and Rajapura villages and estate workers are in fear even as they have urged for the capture of the tiger.
