Overview
- The Forest Minister said a male tiger was darted in the Moleyur range of Bandipur and shifted to the Chamundi Wildlife Conservation, Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre on Mysuru’s outskirts.
- Officials estimate the animal to be 12–13 years old with worn teeth, a condition they say could have pushed it toward cattle and human targets.
- Safaris and trekking in Bandipur and Nagarahole remain suspended until further notice as tourism staff are redeployed to capture and patrol duties.
- Since October 26, three farmers have been killed and another survivor has lost vision after an earlier attack, prompting expanded night patrols, public alerts and standby rescue teams.
- Combing operations continue across H.D. Kote–Saragur with camera traps and trained elephants assisting, while village tensions have flared and some forest personnel were assaulted, according to reports.
