Forest officials had made it clear that they were focused on capturing the animal alive
The massive 22-day-long effort to safely tranquilise and capture tiger MDT23 from Mudumalai Tiger Reserve (MTR), began in another forest division entirely in Gudalur.
On September 24, a 56-year-old man who was grazing cattle in Devan Estate, bordering the tiger reserve was mauled to death by the tiger. A search operation quickly ensued to tranquilise the animal, with teams of forest staff and veterinarians deployed.
