On Saturday evening, the squad, constituted to kill the tiger, had claimed that in an encounter with the predator near Betia river the animal had sustained bullet injuries. It, however, managed to escape and the officials abandoned chase due to darkness. Next day, the combing team followed the blood trail into the undergrowth, where the animal was suspected to have taken cover.
Senior forest officer A N Singh said the tiger had it last hunt on Saturday and hence was not moving out in search of food.
