Regarding the accounts of Tiger predation on elephants and rhinos are indeed reliable.
These incidents were reported by Forest Officials, Chief conservator of the Reserve, Chief wildlife warden, NTCA officials, District forest officers, Government approved veterinarians, Deputy director, mahaouts etc.
These officials have to present detailed reports on such incidents to the government.
Dudhwa Tiger Reserve officials have requested to conduct a study on increased tiger predation on adult rhinoes.  


 

Sorry @Apollo, but that's not enough proof, one guy from Kaziranga said that female tigers with Cubs killed rhinos because she did wanna be away from her cubs.. That's silly a tigress really.. Also do they think a tiger can kill a rhino on such short time... 

Also I have never heard a wild-life vet comfirming a adult rhino killed by a tiger. There's no proof apollo
 

 

Each tiger, rhino, elephant deaths (the ones identified) were examined and investigated.
This involves not only the forest officials but also personnels from other departments like NTCA (for tigers), government approved wildlife vets etc.
The detailed report with proper proof on the animals death as to be presented (oldage, poaching, infighting, predation etc)
By default all these animal deaths were considered due to poaching unless the report says otherwise.
This is a procedure being followed for some time.
The wildlife ministry maintains a database on this.
There is a big war going on between the forest guards and poachers in Northeast India.
