Tiger crushed to death by earthmover used to trap it
A tiger in Uttarakhand died after being crushed by a JCB machine (earthmover), a committee has said. It said the National Tiger Conservation Authority-approved standard operation procedure, which does not include using earthmovers to trap tigers, was not followed. The tiger had killed two people, following which forest department officials tranquilised and tried to capture it with an earthmover.
