Caught in one such trap, the eight-year-old tiger died on Sunday night in Dokarpur village in Mohammadi range
BAREILLY: Razor wires put up by poachers to trap wild boar, deer and blue bulls nilgai for their meat ensnared a full-grown tiger on Sunday night and led to its painful and agonising death in UP’s Lakhimpur Kheri district, which has already seen at least five big cat killings in the last two years. The region, sources claim, has turned into a hotbed for poachers. In March, 2019, a big cat was killed just 12-km away from the spot where the adult male tiger’s bloodied carcass was recovered on Monday morning.
