Sources from Hyderabad have stated that two persons were arrested in Bejjur of Komaram Bheem, Asifabad district, while they were attempting to transport a tiger skin. It was stated that the seizure of the skin, believed to have been taken from a sub-adult male tiger about two years old, sent officials of the state wildlife department scrambling to check if it belonged to any of the big cats that moved into Telangana from Maharashtra's tiger reserves in the past couple of years.
