Mysuru: In a tragic incident, a tigress was killed after it was caught by a roll fitted to the fence of a field on the edge of the forest in Antharasanthe Wildlife range of Nagarahole National Park.
The 12-year-old tigress was found dead and must have died 8 to 10 days ago. While only a part of the tiger’s head and body remained, the remaining part had decomposed. It was taken to the forest and cremated.
