Forest official Gunadeep Das reported that around a thousand villagers congregated, leading to the tragic event where the tiger succumbed to sharp injuries. The incident has drawn condemnation from local lawmakers, with promises of strict actions against those responsible. As the tiger population in Assam has risen due to conservation efforts, such violent reactions expose the challenges of coexistence and the necessity for effective wildlife management strategies.

The tiger's remains have been sent for autopsy, with investigations underway to address the issue of human encroachment on wildlife territories.
