Tigress Avni shot after attack on forest staff: Maha Minister
Maharashtra Forest Minister Sudhir Mungantiwar on Sunday said Tigress Avni was shot dead as a last resort when all attempts to tranquilise her failed and she attacked forest officials. "...there was a lot of unrest among them(Adivasis). We didn't want them to eventually become enemies of wildlife," he said. Avni reportedly killed 13 people in the past two years.
