Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) Alok Pathak stated that the CCTV footage showed a tigress on the campus, which is on the outskirts of Bhopal.

The tigress – with the name tag T-123 – was also spotted outside the Vice Chancellor’s cabin at 4.53 am. This caused panic among the workers there, who fled the scene.

The tigress also has 4 children with whom she often roams in Bhopal city’s Kaliyasot area. The children of T-123 are 8 months old and are widening their horizon, according to officials.

Just a few days back, the tigress was also captured in a photograph at the Motherbull Farm. During this encounter, she was forced to retreat by a group of cows after she had attacked one of them.

Few days ago, a video capturing what appeared to be a ‘tiger’ dashing across the Railway Ghat section in Maharashtra’s Lonavala has sparked panic among the local residents. The video also showed a man walking on the tracks who quickly ran for safety upon spotting the wild creature.

However, the big cat calmly crossed the railway tracks without causing harm. The video has been circulating on the internet, with netizens clarifying that it’s not a ‘tiger’ but a leopard.

Lonavala Tourism, who initially shared the clip, also clarified that the “leopard was spotted at 7 in the morning.”
