A team of 12 wildlife technicians along with some army men and eight elephant troops were deployed to catch the tiger after forest ministry directed Chitwan National Park (CNP) to do so on October 5.

The next day, the tiger was captured after making it unconsciousness. The tiger has been kept at animal detention centre in CNP's headquarters, Kasara. nepalnews.com
