Tiger in Pieces
In a shocking incident, a tiger was found hacked into pieces and dumped in the Borda jungle near the Chichpalli-Borda road on friday - 18th may 2012. The poachers had taken away the head and the paws of the tiger.
The forest department team has opined that the tiger was probably electrocuted some distance away and then they hacked away the head and paws and threw away the body to make a mockery of the forest departments efforts and demoralise them. The forest department also believes that members of the baheliya tribes from the neighbouring Madhya Pradesh are the make actors engaged in murdering the tigers.
The forest department has declared a reward of a lakh of rupees to anyone who can provide information about this poaching incident. The way the forest department is still grappling with the previous incidents like the poaching in the Palasgaon range in last month. So I am not sure whether they can really catch the culprits.
