The tiger had crossed the border and strolled into Somrahar village, near Nagarparkar on Sunday. After attacking two villagers, the animal ran into a nearby jungle.
The Paramilitary Rangers, Chottal post, chased the tiger down and shot him dead. The animal was then taken to the Rangers Headquarters, Nagarparkar. The injured were taken to Nagarparkar Health Centre and their condition is stable.
The Rangers, however, refused to comment on why the animal was killed and not taken to the wildlife department.
Mithi is famous for its peacocks and other rare birds but the area does not have any tigers, monkeys or bulls in the area which is why the people were sure that the tiger had come from India. Monkeys and cattle keep crossing into Pakistan but this tiger was a first. Read the full report here.
