A forest official from AP said, "We have got some initial leads that confirm the incident's authenticity and we are keeping an eye on every movement in the area."

Wildlife filmmaker and John Abraham's colleague in the campaign, Mike Pandey while talking to MiD DAY said, "May be we should think about the strict law that has protected the rhino in Kenya.

There is a serious and urgent need at all community levels especially political to come forward to protect the tiger. It's a shame for us 1 billion Indians that we are unable to protect 1,000 tigers."
