Tiger linked to 9 deaths shot dead by authorities in Bihar

The development came a day after the Bihar government issued a shoot-at-sight order for the tiger that had allegedly killed nine people since May this year, prompting the forest department to declare it a “man-eater”. The forest department, however, has not provided any conclusive evidence to prove the tiger was responsible for all nine deaths, which had led to protests by villagers living near the reserve, seeking killing of the big cat to end the fear.
