Tigress Avni, believed to have been responsible for the deaths of 13 people in Maharashtra in the past two years, was shot dead in Yavatmal district of Maharashtra on Friday night as part of an operation, police said Saturday. In September this year, the Supreme Court had said Avni could be shot in sight, which prompted a flurry of online petitions seeking pardon for the tigress. For more than three months, Forest Department officials were planning to catch her with the help of latest technology.
Trained sniffer dogs, trap cameras, drones and a hang-glider, expert trackers, sharp-shooters and around 200 ground personnel were roped in for the task, officials said.
The Forest Department Friday carried out the operation in Borati with the help of sharp-shooter Asgar Ali, they said.
"Urine of another tigress and American perfume was spread in some part of the compartment, following which Avni came by sniffing it," one of the officials said.
