Residents of Uliyana village killed a tiger from Ranthambore Tiger Reserve in retaliation after the big cat purportedly mauled to death a man from the village on November 2. Conservation Biologist Dharmendra Khandal condemned the killing of the 12-year-old tiger T-86 and said that cruelty inflicted on such a "magnificent and revered creature" was "profoundly appalling".

Tiger T-86, well known as Chirico, was found dead by the forest department officials on Sunday afternoon. Reportedly, the officials had spotted injury marks on his body which implied that it was attacked with sharp objects and stones which caused its death.
