KOLKATA: Tigress Zeenat, which kept forest officials on their toes for 20 days after leaving Simlipal Tiger Reserve in Odisha, was finally tranquillised and captured at Bankura district in West Bengal on Sunday afternoon.
Forest officials from West Bengal and Odisha made numerous attempts to capture the tigress after she wandered off to Jharkhand on December 9. Officials said that Zeenat would be taken to Alipore Zoo in Kolkata where a team of veterinarians would monitor her health over the next few days before authorities take a call on the tigress' future home.
"We were finally able to tranquillise her on Sunday afternoon in Bankura district. It was a successful operation comprising more than 200 officials of West Bengal and Odisha," said a senior forest official.
