ADILABAD: A tiger, which is suspected to have killed two persons in Maharashtra and one in Telangana in the past few weeks, was captured by a rapid response team of the Maharashtra forest department in the Rajura taluka on Tuesday night. Officials said a rapid response team was deployed in the Virur forest range near Amruthguda village in Maharashtra after people from the village sought the capture of the tiger as it was moving about in and around the area.

Responding to the news of Chandrapur forest officials capturing the tiger, Imran Siddiqui, senior field conservationist, CWS India and member of Telangana State Board Wildlife, said, “Managing the conflict situations effectively not only ensures the safety of the local communities but also reinforces public trust and support for tiger conservation efforts.
