The tiger was unable to move for several days, but forest department officials tried to treat it locally instead of calling experts, which led to the death of the tiger. She further wrote that similarly, on 3 August, the body of MT-2 tigress was found near Bevada Talai which has many injuries. There were maggots seen crawling on her body too. On August 4, the death of white tiger 'Raja' in the Nahargarh sanctuary area was reported. These incidents show that the condition of tigers in many sanctuary areas of the state including Ranthambore, Sariska, Sajjangarh, Nahargarh, etc. is in a dire state.The MP has written in the letter that many tourists come to Rajasthan to see tigers in the State's Tiger Sanctuary, which is also an important source of income for the State.
