A radio-collared tiger C1 from Tipeshwar Wildlife Sanctuary in Pandharkawda in Yavatmal had stepped out of the sanctuary in search of new territory on June 21, 2019.

C1 was one of three cubs of T1, a resident tigress of the park. It was collared on February 27, 2019. It went out of the park on June 21 and has so far travelled 1,160km and counting.
The tiger survived getting entangled in a wire snare before collaring has covered six districts in two states of Telangana and Maharashtra. It went towards Painganga wildlife sanctuary and went towards Kawal tiger reserve in Telangana.

After exploring areas near Kawal, C1 turned back and went to Painganga followed by Isapur bird sanctuary, Pusad, Hingoli, Washim and now Akola.
