Radio-collared Tiger Found Dead in MP Forest, Tenth in 45 Days

• A radio-collared adult tiger was found dead with a broken skull in Rani Durgavati Tiger Reserve (RDTR) in Sagar district.
• This marks the tenth tiger death in Madhya Pradesh since January 1, with officials attributing the latest fatality to a territorial fight.
• The approximately two-and-a-half-year-old tiger was re-wilded after being orphaned in Kanha Tiger Reserve and relocated to RDTR last month.
• Wildlife activist Ajay Dubey alleges gross negligence by the forest department, claiming delays in reporting the death and failure to monitor the radio-collared tiger.
• Dubey demands a high-level inquiry, disciplinary action, and a halt to cheetah relocation to RDTR until tiger safety is guaranteed.
