Bandhavgarh tigress found dumped in a well in Madhya Pradesh with stones tied to carcass

“It is a suspected case of poaching as two injury marks were found on the face of the dead tigress – T-32,” BTR’s field director Vincent Raheem said.

A 14-year-old tigress was found dumped in a well located in the buffer zone of the Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve (BTR) in Madhya Pradesh’s Umaria district with two heavy stones tied to the carcass to weigh it down, an official said on Friday. “It is a suspected case of poaching as two injury marks were found on the face of the dead tigress – T-32,” BTR’s field director Vincent Raheem told PTI. “The carcass of the tigress was found weighed down with two big stones in the well last week. Of the two injury marks on her face, one appears to be made using a sharp weapon, like an axe,” he said.
