Act of 'revenge': Three nabbed for 'poisoning' tigress, 4 cubs in Karnataka
According to Forest officials, Maaduraju was reportedly enraged after his cow named 'Kenchi' was killed upon by wild animals Press Trust of India Chamarajanagar (Karnataka) The death of a tigress and her four cubs in this district has turned out to be a case of apparent revenge by a man whose cow was preyed upon by wild animals, Forest authorities said on Saturday. Three people, including the owner of the dead cow sprayed upon with poison and consumed by the wild cats, were arrested on Saturday in connection with the incident that happened in the Hugyam forest range of Male Mahadeshwara Hills, police said. The big cats were found dead on Thursday, and subsequent investigation revealed they were poisoned. The incidenr had created a furore in the state. The breakthrough came after the carcass of a poisoned cow belonging to Maada alias Maaduraju was found. According to Forest officials, Maaduraju was reportedly enraged after his cow named 'Kenchi' was killed upon by wild animals. To avenge the loss, he sprayed poison on the cow's carcass. His friends Konappa and Nagaraju too were allegedly part of the conspiracy. The tigress, which had initially feasted on the dead cow, later returned with her cubs to feed on it again and died after ingesting the poison, Forest sources said. All three suspects have been taken to Meenyam-based 'Aranya Bhavan' in Hanuru Taluk for further interrogation. During the investigation, Maaduraju's father Shivanna approached the police claiming that he was responsible for the death of the big cats. However, he was let off after the investigation revealed his son's alleged involvement. The incident had triggered widespread public outrage and political blame games, with the opposition BJP accusing the government of "negligence" in protecting wildlife. While Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had indicated action after receiving a report on the matter, State Forest Minister Eshwar Khandre had said no one will be spared. According to the latest report of the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA), Karnataka has 563 tigers, the second highest in the country after Madhya Pradesh.

I definitely connect with people's personalities,' she added.

Siddaramaiah orders probe into tiger deaths, 2 detained
Bengaluru, June 27 (UNI) Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah today confirmed that an investigation has been launched into the death of a tigress and her four cubs in Chamarajanagar district's Male Mahadeshwara Hills Wildlife Sanctuary. Two individuals have been taken into custody for questioning in connection with the incident. Speaking to reporters, Siddaramaiah said necessary orders had already been issued and promised strict action based on the outcome of the inquiry. "The investigation is underway. Once the report is submitted, we will take appropriate action," the Chief Minister assured. The deaths, believed to be a case of poisoning, came to light yesterday after forest officials found the carcasses in the Meenyam forest area under the Hoogyam range of the sanctuary. Forest, Ecology and Environment Minister Eshwar Khandre termed the deaths "deeply saddening," and said the government was taking the matter seriously. "A team led by the Principal Chief Conservator of Forests (PCCF) has been constituted and directed to submit a report within three days," he informed. Preliminary findings suggest the tigress had killed a cow left to graze in the forest and dragged it into the woods. She and her cubs reportedly fed on the carcass over the next few days, which officials suspect was laced with poison by local villagers. "The post-mortem has been completed, and viscera samples have been sent to the laboratory for confirmation," Khandre said. The minister further stated that the tiger conservation effort is a joint responsibility of both the Centre and the state. "The Central government must release funds for the Tiger Project as per expectations. This is not a political issue — we must work in coordination to protect our wildlife," he said, adding that he had discussed the issue in detail with CM Siddaramaiah. A joint forest-police team has launched a search for the owner of the cow believed to have triggered the chain of events. "We are treating this incident with utmost seriousness. There will be complete transparency in the investigation," Khandre said. Initial reports mentioned the deaths of the tigress and three cubs, but authorities later confirmed that all four cubs had perished along with their mother, all victims of suspected poisoning.
