There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Even too convoluted maybe? Of course there are many theories always, but sometimes it can be also good to sit back and think, that maybe it is just what it looks like to be, a dead tiger killed by another animal. If they would want to cover up poaching, they could just say, that tiger killed in territorial fight with another tiger. Why really start to make up something complicated if only wanting to cover up poaching?
I think, that they really have been first looking it to be just a normal territorial fight, but then in further investigation noticing, that it has been most probably some other animal and then been very curious to find out what. Starting to make some this complex conspiracy sounds for me simply too much trouble, it is just a tiger after all, not prime minister of India or something :)
Only one person stated that it "possibly" could be a Bear and that was based off a photo trap shot only.
No vets stated anything about a bear, in fact no other person I've seen has mentioned it being a bear and Siddharth Singh is saying it's a result of infighting from a younger Male.
