Tiger Suspected in Two Deaths Captured in Nilgiris; Leopards Released After Accidental Trapping
A tiger suspected of killing two people in August was captured after a 28-day search near Gudalur in Tamil Nadu's Nilgiris district. The operation involved over 200 forest personnel, trained elephants, drones, and camera traps. The tiger, showing aggressive behavior, was taken for medical examination and may be relocated to a zoo.
