The tiger which killed two people in the Bailpadav forest range of Ramnagar division on Thursday found dead under mysterious circumstances in Nainital zoo. The post-mortem report, however, suggests the feline died of internal injuries, septicemia and asphyxiation.
The tiger had dragged away two people — a woman and her relative who had attempted to rescue her — early on Thursday. A few hours later, in the evening, it was captured by forest officials. The death of the big cat makes it the fifth recorded death of a tiger in the hill state this year.
