The body of a male tiger has been found floating in the canal of Katarniaghat Wildlife Sanctuary in Bahraich. Official sources said the matter has been reported by official sources. "External injury marks have not been found on the tiger's body," he said. According to reports, the tiger's body was found floating under the Chaudhary Charan Singh (Girijapuri) barrage on a canal connected to the Ghaghra river in Uttar Pradesh last Saturday, while divisional forest officer (DFO) Akashdeep Badhan said, "The villagers saw it around 3.30 pm.''

He further said, "The local people immediately reported it to the forest and irrigation department. A forest department team rushed to the spot to bring the body to the Katarniaghat forest area office. It seems that the tiger is about four years old and no external injury marks were found on the body.'' He further informed that a panel of veterinarians will conduct a postmortem to ascertain the cause of death. On the other hand, Senior Forest Service Officer Ramesh Kumar Pandey, an expert on tiger conservation, said, "As per the standard operating procedure of the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA), the death of every tiger is considered unnatural unless proved.''

He further explained that 'To prove the tiger's death natural, all other angles like hunting poison have to be denied. It is very rare for a tiger to be found dead in a canal as big cats are good swimmers.'
