Apprehensions are rife about the likely poisoning of bait as the reason for the deaths of two tigers in the Kumram Bheem Asifabad district discovered during the past two days.
The first carcass of a subadult female tiger was found on Saturday, in the Darigaon beat of the Kagaznagar range, which the forest authorities had attributed to territorial fights.
The second carcass of a 5-6 years old male tiger was discovered on Monday, about 500-600 metres from the location where the tigress was found.
