Meanwhile, in a tragic turn of events, a tiger was found dead in a reserve located in Madhya Pradesh. The tiger was discovered without one of its paws, and the exact cause of its death remains unknown. No further information about the identity of the tiger or the circumstances surrounding its demise has been provided.

The reserve where the incident occurred is a protected area, home to various endangered species. The loss of this tiger serves as a reminder of the ongoing challenges in preserving India's wildlife.
