Bhopal: A tiger was spotted inside Jagran University campus in Madhya Pradesh’s Bhopal which created panic among the students and the staff members.
The tiger was spotted over CCTV cameras of the institution, which is located close to Kaliasot Dam.
Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) Alok Pathak said that the CCTV footage clearly shows it is a tigress T-123.
The DFO further said that this T-123, which has four young offspring, frequently roams in the Kaliyasot area and it entered the campus by jumping over the boundary wall of the university.
The tigress was seen near the Vice Chancellor’s cabin at 4:53 am on a Saturday.
To ensure safety, the university has been closed and the roads leading to the university have also been sealed off.
In October last year, two tigers entered the campus of Bhopal’s Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology (MANIT) and killed two cows. They were roaming freely for six days and the university was closed for the entire week.
In January this year, a tiger appeared in front of a school bus in the Narmadapuram village and the bus driver had recorded the video of the entire episode.
