Deadliest revenge of Man to an animal
RAIPUR: It was revenge taken by the deadliest animal in the world when a tigress around 4-5 years old was beaten to death with stones and sticks Saturday by a mob of over 5,000 people in Bhakru Tola near Bamni in Chhattisgarh.
The area is about 6km from the Maharashtra border. There are possibilities that it is the same problem tigress which was captured from Umargunda talao in Brahmapuri (Chandrapur district) range on April 3 and released in Navegaon National Park on June 12 after treatment. Navegaon falls in Gondia district of Maharashtra and shares the border with Chhattisgarh.
Additional principal chief conservator of forests (APCCF), Nagpur (East) AK Saxena said, “Unless we ascertain the facts, it is difficult to tell if it is the same.”
After hours when the bloodied tigress finally collapsed in a heap, a delirious cry broke out in the village. The villagers even took out a victory procession to celebrate the killing and refused to hand over the carcass to forest officials. The spot falls in Naxal-infested Churia forest range under Rajnandgaon division.
Deputy conservator of forests, Gondia division SV Ramarao strangely said, “The only fact that can be confirmed is that the killed animal is a tigress.”
