After a postmortem examination by veterinary experts, the carcass was cremated as per protocol.Sources said BTR field director Anupam Sahay has suspended deputy ranger (range assistant) Shankar Singh Kol and forest guard Pankaj Kumar Chandel for negligence in patrolling duties.The State Tiger Strike Force has now joined the investigation to determine whether the death was due to natural causes, territorial conflict, or poaching.Meanwhile, a tigress known as Kantivah and her three cubs have gone missing. Officials said Kantivah has not been sighted since the carcass was found. Officials say it’s too early to say whether the carcass belongs to the missing tigress.
