Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) Alok Pathak said that CCTV footage clearly shows it is a tigress — T-123 — which is roaming within the university campus.
The tigress was seen near the Vice Chancellor’s cabin at 4:53 am on a Saturday.
The DFO said that this T-123, who has four young offspring, frequently roams in the Kaliyasot area.
He said that the tigress entered the campus by jumping over the boundary wall of the university.
To ensure safety, the university has been closed while roads leading to the university have also been sealed off.
In October last year, two tigers had entered the campus of Bhopal’s Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology (MANIT) and killed two cows. They were roaming freely for six days. The university was closed for the entire week.
In January this year, a tiger appeared in front of a school bus in the Narmadapuram village and the bus driver had recorded the video of the entire episode.
