CBI probe into Panna tiger disappearance sought

Bhopal, Mar 7 (PTI) The Madhya Pradesh Forest Department has sought a CBI probe into the disappearance of tiger population from Panna Tiger Reserve in the state.

"We have sent our request to the state government for a CBI inquiry into the disappearance of big cats from the Panna Tiger Reserve," Madhya Pradesh Forest Minister Sartaj Singh told PTI today.

"Now the state government will forward our request to the Centre for the CBI probe into missing of tigers from the Panna reserve," he added.

The Forest Department has sought the CBI probe after an Experts committee formed by it to look into the disappearance of tigers submitted its report a week back with one of its seven members reportedly not putting his signature on it following differences.
