Chhattisgarh's Forest Department on Tuesday captured a six-year-old tigress in Surajpur district.
Two persons were killed and one man was injured by the tigress on Monday near a jungle in Kalamanjan village in the district.
A team of forest personnel on Tuesday launched an operation involving Kumki elephants, Surajpur Divisional Forest Officer Sanjay Kumar Yadav said.
The animal was tranquillized and captured and kept in a cage, he said, adding that veterinarians also administered preliminary treatment as the feline had injuries on the forehead.
Now, the tigress will be shifted to the Jungle Safari Zoo in Raipur.
The animal was injured when one of the three victims attacked her with an axe in a bid to save himself on Monday, the officer said.
