Village Mob kills Royal Bengal Tiger in the northeast of India

The Royal Bengal Tiger has been killed and dismembered by a mafia in the northeastern state of Asam in India, a forest officer said.

The State Department of Forests has registered a case.

Examples of a person-life conflict are not new to Asam. This is Tiger’s third murder that was reported this year.

The military official forest Gunadeep Das told the Times of India newspaper that the tiger had died of sharp wounds, not rifles.

Later, the corpse was restored in the presence of a magistrate, said in reports.

D -n this told a local newspaper that “about a thousand people had gathered to kill the tiger” and that some of them attacked the tiger with a machete. He added that the corpse of the tiger was sent for autopsy.

Mrinal Saikia, a legislator from Asama, condemned X’s murder. He shared a video showing the tiger’s alleged dead body with parts of the skin, face and legs.

The BBC has not independently checked the video.

“This is a very painful effect. Earth is not only for humans but also for animals,” he said in the publication, adding that strict action will be taken against those involved in the murder.

Another forest officer, Sonna Gosh told the local media that Tiger’s origin was unclear. According to reports, the animal was killed about 20 km (12 miles) from the Kaazagga National Park.

Latest data Asam Forest Department shows that the population of tigers in the state was steadily increasing from only 70 in 2006 to 190 in 2019 due to various efforts to protect.

However, cases of tiger killings due to conflict with the peasants were often reported In the media, which can be due to habitat shrinkage and lack of protection of tiger corridors between different national parks in the state.

Tigers are a protected species under the Indian Wildlife Protection Act (1972), which prohibits poaching, hunting and tiger trade.
