Tigress T1 was shot dead by Asghar, Nawab Shafat Ali Khan's son
Are tigress T1's cubs starving to death? The big cat's post-mortem report, a copy of which is with mid-day, states: "Stomach was fluid filled and no major solid contents." This means she had come near the location where she was killed to prey on a bait, and it's highly likely that for the last one week, since her killing, the cubs haven't had anything to eat.
Sources from the forest department (FD) team on ground told mid-day that more than 100 of its members started a combing operation early yesterday to search for the cubs but haven't had any luck so far. They have also placed baits at many places, so that the cubs don't starve. Over the last two days, there has been information coming in that the male cub was found giving calls in the area where T1 was shot, but there isn't any photographic evidence of it.
