Captured tiger shifted to Gorewada

Chandrapur: Problem tiger NT-1 that was captured at Talodhi range in Bramhapuri forest division was shifted to Gorewada zoo in Nagpur on Monday. The tiger was blamed for three human kills within a month.
The tiger was captured in Gondipur beat. Sources in Talodhi range said that RFO Abhilasha Sontakke on Monday morning escorted the three-year-old male tiger to Gorewada. The medical examination on the tiger was done on Sunday night.
After the wildlife veterinary doctor, TATR, Dr Ravikant Khobragade found that the beast was medically fit, higher-ups ordered the local officials to transport it to Gorewada.
Sources informed that the captured tiger does not belong to Talodhi range and range office does not have its record. Officials suspect that the tiger was migrating and had opted to settle in forest on the border of Nagbhid and Talodhi range where it made three human kills.
