Saddened by brutal murder of tigress Avni: Maneka Gandhi
Union Minister Maneka Gandhi on Sunday tweeted she was "saddened" by the way in which tigress Avni was "brutally murdered". Slamming Maharashtra Forest Minister Sudhir Mungantiwar for giving "orders for the killing", Gandhi said she will take up "this case of utter lack of empathy for animals as a test case". The suspected "man-eater" tigress was shot dead on Saturday.
