The elusive tigress on the run for over a month was spotted with the help of night vision thermal drones last night in Gorakhpur village of Ramnagar sub-division after an intense combing operation, Terai Western Forest Circle Conservator Parag Dhakate told PTI.
It was shot dead finally at 12 noon today at the end of a search operation which lasted 45 days, he said.
The post mortem revealed it was a six-year-old big cat weighing around 91 kgs which had killed two persons and left three injured in the area, he said.
