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.

If you read this article and what is said about nature of injuries.

When combining that statement to it, that there also is actually seen a big sloth bear which looks like to be injured. So no, not only camera trap photos. That is also why I think, that this case looks like to be fight between these animals. Not one single detail, but overall information combined makes it look like to be most obvious situation.

It's the same account, nothing new.

There is statement about nature of injuries and why sloth bear is suspected. You said, that only thing indicating to sloth bear were camera trap photos and that was not the case. So maybe you just forgot to mention it then? Reply
