A snare trap installed in Tipeshwar Wildlife Sanctuary led to the death of a tigress. Post-mortem revealed that the big cat died of injuries inflicted due to nylon wire.

A T-4 tigress in Tipeshwar Wildlife Sanctuary coming under Pandharkawada (wildlife) division was found to be entangled in snare trap on November 11, 2017. An operation was taken up to capture her. However, it was not possible to tranquilise her as movement of tigress was found to be in night from the camera trap images and there was no direct sighting during search operation.

Her movements were slowed down and she was not able to stand also. Later, range forest officer and veterinarian reached the spot and tranquilising dart was fired at 6.30 pm. Later after it was confirmed that she was unconscious, she was put into a cage in rescue van for further treatment. Meanwhile, it became clear that tigress had died at around 8 pm.
