Dreaded Brahmapuri tigress to be recaptured for attacking locals; to be forever confined in Nagpur
As per Principal Chief Conservator of Forest (Wildlife) Nitin Kakodkar, three-year-old dreaded tigress E1 from Brahmapuri, who was relocated to Melghat Tiger Reserve (MTR) on July 1, would soon be recaptured. The decision was taken after E1 killed a man at Dadra village near Dharni on Friday night.
The tigress earlier had also attacked multiple people at Brahmapuri in Chandrapur district. Hence, the tigress would be kept in confinement forever at Gorewada Rescue Centre at Nagpur once recaptured. A rescue team has also been deployed to capture the radio-collared tigress.
As per Indian Express, “E1, who was involved in at least one human death in Brahmapuri prior to her capture, was released in the core area of MTR in Amravati district. Within a week after her release, she attacked a girl at Kekdakheda village outside MTR. On Friday night, around 10 pm, the tigress attacked one Shobharam Chavan, 45, on his farm. Another man, who is believed to have accompanied him to the farm, was also injured in the attack.”

Rahul Gandhi
Surat Court, on Thursday, awarded two-year jail term to Congress MP Rahul Gandhi in a defamation case for his ‘all thieves have Modi surname’ remark. The case was filed against Gandhi for his alleged ‘how come all the thieves have Modi as the common surname?’ remarks on a complaint lodged by BJP MLA and former Gujarat minister Purnesh Modi.
The Court also imposed a fine of ₹15,000 after finding him guilty under Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections 499 and 500 (dealing with defamation). However, he secured a bail in the same case.
Chief Judicial Magistrate HH Verma heard the final arguments regarding Gandhi’s 2019 remark, “Why all the thieves, be it Nirav Modi, Lalit Modi or Narendra Modi have Modi in their names.” Gandhi’s counsel Kirit Panwala said, “We will today send a message to Rahul Gandhi to remain present on March 23 in Surat district court. Most probably, he would be present in the court. We will get confirmation on Saturday.”
Gandhi made the alleged remarks while addressing a rally at Kolar in Karnataka ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
