Male tiger konda's true death reason?

[Pckts]

I have read conflicting stories about how Konda actually died.
I have heard(read) from a couple of people that Konda was killed by Munna and Copters has told me he was killed by his two sons after he was injured.

Hear is what Tigers of Kahna had to say
"That guy (doesn't matter who he is talking about) has put in total Garbage such as: Konda was the biggest tiger in Kanha, and had his paw not been cut off, he wouldn't have died from an attack by his 2 sons, K1 and K2, or Munna is much smaller than Konda and K2, and he just took advantage of K2 and Konda's death to rule the meadows, Naak Kata and Pattewala male are way bigger than Munna, Wagdoh is the biggest tiger in Central India....The shit goes on, and is too long to mention them all here. Truth is, Konda was a small tiger of Kisli range, not in Kanha meadows, that was in fine health and right in his prime when he was slaughtered by Munna, a much bigger male in Jan 2008. The fight was completely one-sided, with Munna suffering not a visible scratch. K1 and K2 are makebelief names given to the link 7 bros, sons of Banda, not Konda. And one of them, the one called K2 by (doesn't matter), was believed to be killed by Munna in march 2009. "


Here is what is said on Konda's biography
Name               : Konda

Year of Birth    : 2001

Konda was one of the biggest tiger at Kanha who could bring down with ease a one ton bison. He was master of a large territory of the reserve and slated to rule for a long time. No other tiger could match Konda's hunting prowess nor his power and strength. In his prime he sired many cubs.

He could have disseminated more of his prime genes had not tragedy befallen upon him. In spite of being the best managed park in India, Kanha National Park is subjected to poaching incidence now an then. This time the victim was Konda who was trapped in a poacher's snare and injured. The snare damaged his paw but not so much that he could not hunt.

In the meantime two males probably sired by him had reached adulthood and separated from their mother, hence were keeping together for some time as young male tigers often do. They hunted together successfully and grew stronger. Konda's presence in the area was not a welcome sign for the pair as he was a strong adversary and could come in their way of carving out their own respective territories. Tigers live a solitary life.

Eventually a territorial fight ensued with Konda alone in against the young but matured pair. The pair could have been no match for Konda but the injury took his toll and he was killed in a fierce fighting that terrified the forest guards in jungle camp nearby.

What is unfortunate is that territorial fights not always lead to the death of the adversary as there is plenty of room to run away before a deadly injury results fro
