Thanks for the clarification btw, apollo.

Ustaad is most dominate tiger in Ranthambhore, correct?
Fetah is Ranthambhore as well, right, he is also a very dominate cat.

 

B2 was the one who challenged Charger and caused all those wounds.
But Charger didnt die because of the wounds in a cave as shown in the documentary

In June 2000, Charger was engaged in a conflict with strong B2 tiger. In this decisive battle with B2 Tiger, in which B2 wrote the last deciding page of Charger’s grand saga. A week later, Charger was found half dead, lying in a ditch close to Mardari village. To avoid any controversies and danger to villagers, the forest department drove the Charger into a cage and put him inside a chain-link enclosure at Chirhadhar. A veterinary doctor attended his wounds and Charger seemed to improve in health. Since then Charger remained in enclosure. Charger was often seen walking along the fence as he wished to roam independently in to the area once ruled by him. He felt loneliness and uncomfortable in enclosure as he spent most of the time of his life in a royal style by ruling the jungle where he was now reduced to a enclosure. It was ungrateful day of 29th September, 2000, when Charger passed away leaving his name in history.



Regarding T24 after reaching adulthood, he took residence in Chidi Kho valley of Sawai Mansingh Sanctuary, just south of the National Park.
When T12, the dominant male of the Sultanpur area was relocated to Sariska on July 2010, T24 immediately occupied his territory. It was also said that T24 killed the cubs of T13 after occupying the territory because the cubs were sired by T12.
Sultanpur (T24) was well-known and famos because he resides in one of the Ranthambhore’s finest and most visited landscapes – the southern part of the park below the hill fort. So T24 is one of the dominant male tigers from Ranthambore Park and he is the dominant resident male in Sultanpur area which is a tourism zone and hence he is very famous.



Regarding (T42) or Fateh, is one to avoid if you are faint-hearted. An aggressive male, he is prone to charging both vehicles and people. In fact he is famous for charging a Forest Department vehicle for up to two kilometres !
T42 is now (thankfully) residing outside the key tourism zone.
T42 now lives in Kuwalji area, he took over this territory from the resident male T36 by killing it.

Here is a video of T42 chasing the vehicle for 2 kms
