Bhopal: A local NGO has launched a massive signature campaign to demand the arrest of those involved in the killing of a tigress, Jhurjhura, in the Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve of Madhya Pradesh.

"So far, the organisation had collected 36,145 signatures from all over the country in support of its demand," Secretary of NGO Udai, Shehla Masood told reporters at the Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve on Monday.

Earlier, the NGO was planning to take out a rally but in view of imposition of prohibitory orders under Sections 144 of the CrPC in majority of towns in the state, the campaign seeking 'Justice For Death Of Jhurjhura' was changed to collection of signatures, she said.

Jhurjhura had died on May 18 this year after she was fatally wounded when some unidentified persons entered the Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve for a night drive.

"Although nothing can be done to bring the tigress back to life, we demand that the perpetrators of this wicked crime are brought to book and made to pay for the playing of the tigress," Shehla added
