Tiger Terror Ends: Villagers Breathe Easier After Rogue Cat’s Capture

A rogue tiger that killed a villager and terrorized Raisen district for a month has finally been captured. After a red alert was issued for 36 villages, 140 people joined the search operation. The tranquilized tiger will be relocated to the Satpura Tiger Reserve, ending the ordeal for the villagers.

Residents of Raisen district in Madhya Pradesh can finally breathe easier. A rogue tiger responsible for the death of a villager, and a month of terror, has been captured by forest officials. The tiger, which had eluded search teams for several weeks, will be tranquilized and relocated to the Satpura Tiger Reserve.

The alarm was raised after the tiger brutally killed Maniram Jatav from Neemkheda village, approximately 35 km from Bhopal, on May 15. The predator didn't stop at that, having preyed on cattle and being sighted by the locals continuously.

A red alert had been declared for 36 surrounding villages, covering an area of 150 square kilometers. ''We issued a red alert for 36 villages after a half-eaten body was found,'' said DFO Vijay Kumar. A red alert signifies a critical threat to human life, necessitating immediate action by authorities.
