The Forest Department nabbed three persons for allegedly poaching a tiger in Madhya Pradesh`s Narmadapuram district, an official said on Monday.
The tiger`s carcass was spotted by a patrolling team in the Banspani forest area under the Narmadapuram forest division on December 11, said Divisional Forest Officer Anil Chopada in a release.
Forest department roped in MP Tiger Strike Force and a dog squad in the investigation and interrogation of suspected people, he said.
The arrested trio is identified as Kailash Korku (33), Ramratan Korku (19), and a minor.
The poachers had prima facie laid live electric wiring in the forest along the Banspani-Jatamau road, leading to the death of a tiger due to electrocution, the forest official said.
The wire and connected equipment have been seized, and a search is on to recover the nails and teeth of the tiger, he said.
