ADILABAD: After many days of efforts, forest officials have identified the tiger which killed two persons in the erstwhile Adilabad district. They have identified places where they can lure the tiger with a prey to catch it. Meanwhile, residents of Loha village are afraid that the tiger, which killed a cow in the village Monday, might attack them.
