<p>The Forest department has formed teams to capture the tiger roaming on the outskirts of Mudgai village near Jamboti Forest Range in Khanapur taluk. <br /><br /></p>.<p>Five teams comprising eight members, including a shooter, a forest guard, a veterinary doctor and others, are on the task. The beast continued to remain elusive, giving the search teams a slip. The Forest department has been authorised to kill the tiger, while baits have been placed at various places and trained elephants are also being used. <br /><br />Deputy Conservator of Forests Ambady Madhav said that tigers often returned to the spots where they had previously hunted their preys. The tiger had mauled to death a 23-year-old woman on Wednesday when she had gone to fetch water for her family members who were working in the fields.<br /><br /> Following the incident, residents from surrounding villages protested, demanding that the Forest department capture the wild cat. <br /><br />The man-eater had killed a horse at Dorle village in Khanapur taluk on Thursday and was spotted at Yabnal village and at Olmani village on Friday. The tiger’s presence has triggered panic among the villagers. <br /><br />A woman suffered injuries after a fall, while rushing home, fearing the tiger might have entered Pandarhalli village.</p>
