This was the same male tiger who's video went viral about 2 weeks ago, popularly called as the Mohaan maneater.

He was again sighted about a week ago, with 2 much smaller tigers. Since he wasn't aggressive, they're definitely related to him. 

At first, people thought that this male was one of the cubs of the Avni maneater tigress captured on 18th January. DNA analysis confirmed that she was involved in 3 human attacks. 

Tigress can be seen with her cubs here at 0:13

But looking at the size and build of the male, he definitely wasn't a subadult. The vet said he was about 5 years old, in his prime. Meaning he was MOST LIKELY the mate of the maneater tigress caught a month ago. And since the tigress is missing, he was taking care of the cubs by himself. FD removed him, now lets see how it plays out for the cubs.

Where is the alleged weight from?

I hate when they're so vague. We've seen this many times where they give one word weight answers with no elaboration that turns out to be estimates. Not saying that is or isn't the case but if you can, I'd try to get more information. Like dimensions, where the weight was taken, body condition, etc. Easier said than done, I understand.
