Kerala Forest Department has confirmed the death of the tiger suspected of having killed Radha, a 40-year-old coffee plantation worker at Pancharakolli in the Wayanad district last week.
The office of Forest Minister A.K. Saseendran said a team of wildlife enforcers on patrol found the suspected man-eater found the animal mortally injured in the Peelavakavu locality around 2.30 a.m. on Monday (January 27, 2025). The tiger had attacked a forest official while on patrol on Sunday (January 26, 2025).
The Forest department had issued orders to shoot the tiger. The Chief Conservator of Forests (Northern Circle), K.S. Deepa, will likely hold a press conference later.
