All the vital body parts, like the skin, paws, nails, teeth of the tiger, are missing.
Chief Conservator of Forests (Wildlife, Vidarbha region) Nandkishore, said that all the three accused were in forest custody for interrogation.
Meanwhile, a male tiger was found dead at the Corbett National Park in Uttarakhand on Sunday. Officials said it was killed by another tiger. The tiger had injury marks on its body.
