A tiger died after being hit and dragged by a train in Madhya Pradesh’s Ratapani Tiger Reserve while chasing prey. The incident on the Budhni–Midghat track marks the second tiger death in the area in a week and the fifth this year.
The injured big cat, which strayed from nearby forests into a tea estate and triggered panic among locals, suddenly charged at the forest officials, who fired tranquilizer shots at it, forcing the team to open fire for self-defense
