Youths of Nagaland kill a Royal Bengal tigress in Dimapur

The tiger is India's national animal and a huge asset to our ecosystem. These big cats have been declared an endangered species and it is illegal to kill them but they are usually targeted by poachers for their skin.
However, the incident that has taken place in Nagaland was different. A royal Bengal tigress was spotted for the first time in Nagaland was shot dead at Medziphema village in Dimapur district by the locals. It is believed that it might have strayed into the state was attacked by 70 armed-youth.
This has been reported in zeenews.india.com dated 2 March 2016.

The localites believe that killing the tigress was a brave and prestigious act because it had been sighted some 30-Km away from the commercial hub Dimapur last week and from then on, the locals kept track of it till they killed it. As per records of the National Tiger Conservation Authority, there are no record of the presence of the wild animal in Nagaland and it could have lost its way from Assam's Kaziranga National Park.
It seems while the youth were chasing the tigress into a nearby jungle, it suddenly pounced on one of the men and attacked and injured him seriously. The public reacted by shooting it down with their 12-bore guns.
