In Ranthambhore, poachers kill a tiger
A mail received from our friend Aditya Singh of Ranthambhore.
If you had visited Ranthambhore in 2006 for a few days, chances are you would have seen the Guda tigress with her two male cubs. This highly visible family had delighted a large number of tourists with their easy sightings. One of these two male cubs was killed by poachers a month or so ago. He was killed near a place called Lakheri, which is about 30 kilometers from the edge of the Ranthambhore National park, by a group of 7 "mogiya" tribal poachers.
The Forest Department arrested one of these 7 poachers about 10 days ago and they made this news public yesterday. This man -goes by two names (as many Mogiyas do) - Ramswaroop Mogiya or Sanwarmal Mogiya. He is a resident of a small village near Lakheri, where many Mogiyas stay.
