what's the situation with Ustad? 

and did they say anything about his weight?

Bamera has been pushed to territorial limits, many fights in the recent year and half, I haven't seen anything on his whereabouts a recently though.

This was from Kay 9 months ago
" Shashi is staying during the day around Thauni that is Tala closed area. He goes by night for cows around the villages in Khitauli but across a very small area. I doubt he has met the Khitauli new male. I am calling the Khitauli new male Tarun meaning Boy. He meets Jobhi frequently and also the new male in Tala from Kulwah as they both cross his path on their travels. I am calling the New Kulwah male Chinkoo meaning Round Face as some call him Big Head. The main concern is his split forepaw pad which is proving hard to heal. But he is eating cows and sharing meals with other tigers including O1 and his mother Ondrila around Thauni. FD recently saw Shashi near a sambar kill of another tiger probably O1. He is hanging on but I doubt Jobhi or Chinkoo will let him back in. It is very sad but the pressure now on Bandhavgarh is huge regarding the demand for firewood from the forest right now as its so cold and villagers are all over the place in Tala collecting wood. Tigers are not moving much bar in the dead of night due to this disturbance. FD management is very under staffed and in a mess over all and in this cold no one seems to be controlling things really. Bandhavgarh needs a good Director and supporting staff in house, people who want to be in the field. The Supreme Court rulings did not help this park in any way! "

" He is living near Thauni in the closed area and is seen now and then in Magdhi area or around the villages or off the main road. He is hanging in there and is tracked by the FD eles constantly. "

Ustad was confirmed at 240kg at age 3.5 years old, we were never able to get the confirmation of 250kg that was written in the article where it shows the image of him in his new captive enclosure. I assume its accurate but at least the 240kg mark was confirmed when he was younger. There  is a email here with the confirmation if you search for it. Reply
