sadly an year prior to BMW being ousted, his family suffered some heavy blows. one of his son from 2013 litter was found dead. rumored to be 225kg at the time of his death at 2.5 years old. (words of Minh Ha is the only source i could really find till this date - if someone has any clarification. i'd love to see. Baghin Nala was also poisoned along with her new litter cubs in March/2016. these from my memories were some of the darkest days of Pench.
