Arjun Yadav lost his buffalo to a tigress with cubs; livestock makes easy prey for a mother with hungry cubs that need to eat often. For poor villagers, this can be a catastrophic economic loss, losing milk for the family and income from milk sold. Yadav laced the buffalo carcass with poison, so when the tigress returned to feed on it, she died. He was captured by the police and imprisioned.
