A tigress named Kankati, suspected of two fatal attacks in the Ranthambore Tiger Reserve, has been tranquillised, as confirmed by a forest department official on Wednesday.
Authorities decided to sedate Kankati after she approached a hotel at the forest's edge. The tigress is held in an enclosure pending a decision on her relocation.
The attacks included the deaths of ranger Devendra Chaudhary and a young boy, believed linked to Kankati, a cub of tigress Arrowhead. Experts suggest that previously feeding the cubs may have diminished their fear of humans, prompting these attacks.
