Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has directed the officials to initiate a high-level administrative inquiry. Principal Secretary (cooperatives) Abhay Kumar will carry out the investigation.

The tiger, who died on Saturday last, had been shifted to Sariska from Ranthambhore National Park two months ago, officials said.
