Ustad, the Tiger is he a Man-Eater?
On May 8th, in Ranthambore Park in India Ustad ( or T-24) allegedly mauled and killed a
forest guard. Days later he was tranquilized and moved to Udaipur Park about 530 Km away. Fortunately the authorities have stepped in and prevented any further action until
this case is decided by the Supreme court. For the time being he is OK until the court decides his fate.
He was saved by a petition that was flied by Chandra Bhal Singh a sincere tiger lover.
The supreme court usually only considers urgent matters during the summer; but this case has drawn world-wide attention. He believes the tiger only acted to protect his family when the guard entered his territory.
He also believes the National Tiger Conservation Authority acted hastily, due to the pressure of public opinion, without any scientific inveastigation, or studying the details of the attack.
For the moment he remains at Udaipur, awaiting the final decision of the Supreme Court.
