Tigress Avni’s post mortem report shows she hadn’t eaten for a week, cops still on lookout for her cubs

The post-mortem report of tigress Avni is out and the report reveals that she had not eaten for more than a week. The officials now suspect that her cubs must also be starving to death following which around 100 forest officials have been deployed to search them immediately and save their life. The Wildlife experts, however, say saving their life may be difficult.

Skin samples and muscle pieces collected from the area where the tigress was shot have been sent to the Regional Forensic Laboratory in Nagpur for ballistic and chemical analysis. The dart with the collared needle along with the muscle tissue from her left thigh will be analysed for information on Xylazine, Ketamine or any other tranquilliser or anaesthetic drug if used.

Other items sent to the lab for analysis include urine sample, heart blood, two pieces of bullet retrieved from the carcass, bone and muscle pieces adhering to the bullet-lodging area, and pieces of ribs broken by the bullet.

Meanwhile, Shafat Ali Khan, the father of shooter Asghar Ali, has threatened to take legal action against Maneka Gandhi for calling him “a criminal” and a suspect in a case of murder.

Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray also made a sensational claim when he claimed that tigress Avni was killed by the BJP-led Maharashtra government to “save” a proposed project of industrialist Anil Ambani in Yavatmal. However, a spokesperson of the Anil Ambani group has said the group has no project in Yavatmal district.

A district official in Yavatmal also said the site of the proposed project by the Ambani group is far away from the area where the tigress was shot.
