A tigress that triggered panic among local residents at the Kakkadamkunnu and Vakery areas near Sulthan Bathery under the South Wayanad Forest Division, was captured by the Forest department from a coffee estate on Wednesday.
The tigress, aged about 14 years, had triggered panic among the villagers for the past one month after the workers of the Edan Valley estate at Kakkadamkunnu sighted the animal in different parts of the estate. Moreover, it had allegedly killed a dog from the coffee estate recently.
