Jaipur, Sept. 3 -- A 42-year-old woman labourer was mauled to death by a tiger after it was allegedly released into an enclosure where a group of women were cutting grass at Nahargarh Biological Park in Jaipur on Wednesday morning, officials said. According to officials, the deceased was identified as Sugna Devi, a resident of Nangal Susawatan village in Jamwaramgarh. The incident occurred around 10am when the tiger, named Shivaji, was released for public display. Sugna's sister Kamala, who was among the women working inside the enclosure, alleged that the tiger was in a holding cage when they entered the area. "As soon as we entered, someone opened the cage gate and the tiger came out and attacked us," Kamala told the media. She said four women managed to run out of the enclosure, while another climbed a tree. Sugna attempted to escape by climbing the enclosure's mesh fence, but the tiger allegedly pulled her down and killed her. Her body remained inside the enclosure for several hours following the attack. District forest officer Ashish Kumar said the tiger had been released by an employee at the scheduled display time. "It was time for the tiger's display, and the employee concerned released it. An investigation is underway to determine whether there was negligence," he said. He said an inquiry committee headed by an assistant forest officer had been constituted to examine the circumstances leading to the incident and identify any lapses. Strict action would be taken against those found responsible, Kumar added. Police have also initiated an investigation. A guard identified as Hansa was taken into custody for questioning, police said. Kumar, however, said it would be premature to hold anyone responsible before the inquiry was completed. Following the incident, Sugna's family refused to accept her body, while locals staged a protest demanding compensation and action against those responsible. The protest ended after the authorities agreed to some of their demands. Kumar said Sugna's dependants would receive financial assistance of Rs.10 lakh under Forest Department rules and that the process had been initiated. Discussions were also underway on providing a contractual job to one of her dependants. Located near the Amer hills, Nahargarh Biological Park is one of Jaipur's prominent wildlife attractions and receives a large number of tourists. The park currently has 13 tigers, including two white tigers. Five of themare around eight months old, while two are approximately one-and-a-half years old....
