Gundlupet: The sub adult tigress which was found dead yesterday morning at Maguvinahalli village inside Bandipur Tiger Reserve was run over by a goods vehicle. It was earlier suspected that the feline died after a fierce battle with a wild boar. Even the partially eaten body of the boar was found nearby giving credence to the Forest Department theory.
However, a post-mortem examination last evening revealed that the tigress was hit by a speeding vehicle and it had sustained severe internal injuries. Some of its facial bones too have been broken.
