Jaipur: A tiger 'ST-2402' from Sariska Tiger Reserve that attacked three people near the Dausa border, was spotted inside the kitchen of a farmhouse on Chilkibas Road in Raini, Alwar, on Friday morning and tranquillised by the Forest Department.
After being informed about the big cat's presence at around 6am, the Forest Department tranquillised the tiger after three hours.
The tiger entered Dausa on January 1 and attacked three individuals. After these incidents, it moved back towards the Dausa-Alwar border.
The forest teams had been tracking the tiger. On Thursday, the big cat's pugmarks were spotted at multiple locations near Raini.
The situation escalated when reports confirmed the tiger's entry into the farmhouse kitchen. Teams from the Forest Department promptly arrived at the scene, accompanied by a large crowd of curious villagers.
The medical team, including Dr Deendayal Meena from Sariska, was also on-site, working alongside a separate team tasked with the tranquillisation.
Fortunately, the tiger was caught within the farmhouse, as tranquillising the feline in open fields would have posed significant challenges. - IANS
