Bramhapuri Problem Tigress: Dead by Electrocution after travelling for 500 kms

The two-year-old problem tigress of Bramhapuri, which travelled over 500 km to reach its home at Navargaon in Bor Tiger Reserve, died after it was electrocuted in a farm fence.

The tigress was radio collared and had travelled extensively including passing through human settlements. In the process she survived on Cattle and also killed 4 persons and injured 4 persons till date.

5. I highly doubt this tigress was just 2 years old. I
