Tiger terror ends in Wayanad as big cat captured after a month

WAYANAD: Dreaded days of fear in Cheeral village in Kerala's Wayanad have ended after a tiger that strayed into the area was trapped this morning.

The tiger had hunted over 10 cattle in a month.

The search for the tiger involved hundreds of forest guards, a special rapid response team and trained elephants.

Thirty cameras were placed around the village to track the 10-year-old tiger.

The captured tiger has been taken to Batheri and then to the Palliative Care Unit at Pachadi in the Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary.
