"The tiger was found around the same place where a 55-year-old farmer tending to his cattle was attacked on Tuesday. It was trapped after administering a tranqualiser," a H D Kote Police official told PTI.
He said the tiger is aged and it is being taken to Mysore zoo where officials will decide whether to place the tiger at Mysore zoo or to Bannerghatta Biological Park near Bangalore.
Forest Minister Ramanath Rai also told the Legislative Council in Belgaum, where the legislature session is on, that the tiger fell into trap laid by forest department. It will be sent to Mysore Zoo, he said.
Apart from three tiger attacks in Bandipur, a forest watcher was killed in Nagarahole range on Saturday in a similar incident.
