There is also a rumor that Jai has been sighted but it is far from confirmed and most are waiting for real verification before celebrating.

This post is to clear the misunderstanding regarding sighting of Jai, male tiger from UKWLS, in forests of Adilabad, Telangana.
The news is not authentic as there is no full proof evidence of sighting of this tiger.
As per the DFO of Adilabad, 2 rangers sighted a tiger around the 14th of Dec, which had made some goat kills in the area. It was late in night and positive identification with certainty was not possible. They couldnt ascertain if it was collared or not. Since it was dark, they are not even sure if it was a male or a female.
The area of this sighting is close to Tipeshwar, some 4-5 kms away and as such it could have easily been a tiger from that forest.
With no positive ID, no collar or gender confirmation and no camera trap images, it cannot be confirmed if the sighted tiger was Jai.
We know that every one is waiting with bated breath for Jai to resurface again and we would be extremely glad if it happens in future.
We request our members not to post this news on the forum as it is creating misconception and misunderstanding amongst the members.

 "Once buzzing with tourists, the kuchha roads of Umrer Karhandla remain deserted these days. With not much sightings of the sub adults of Jai, not many tourists are choosing this park which has resulted in lower revenue for the stake holders.
Hope that the sightings improve soon so that the locals are not in any kind of trouble making their ends meet.
