"Carcass of the big cat was recovered yesterday from a deserted place in Harri village. Three persons were arrested in this connection today," C Tyagi, Chief Conservator of Forests here said.
It appears that poachers had laid live electric trap to kill wild boars but the tiger walked into it, he said, adding a veterinarian of Pench Tiger Reserve is examining it to see whether the body parts of the tiger are intact.
Pench Field Director S Sen said, "Our veterinarian has reached Harri village to conduct post-mortem of the tiger. We are not sure that it was of our park."
