- Tiger Zeenat, who had evaded all attempts at capture for almost three weeks since straying from Odisha, was finally on the way back from Kolkata to Similipal.
- The National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) had asked for its safe return to Odisha and sought its immediate release.
- The tiger’s long journey between three States of West Bengal, Jharkhand, and Odisha had kept forest officials on their toes.
- After capture, Zeenat was kept at the Alipore zoo, which is the biggest zoological park in West Bengal.
- Zeenat had been relocated to Similipal from Tadoba in Maharashtra to improve Odisha’s tiger population.
