On Tuesday, January 26, 2019, the tigress was tranquilized and treated by doctors in the presence of top officials. Riddhi, a female cub of tigress T-84 arrowhead, was treated by veterinarians. After this, tigress Riddhi was released into the forest.

The Forest Department team reached the forest at around eleven in the morning. After this, the forest department team got tigress sighting near Jogi Mahal and Raj Bag Talab and Padam Talab.

 Worms were in the wound

According to the information, worms were found in the wound on the shoulder of the tigress. In such a situation it was necessary to treat the tigress. If the tigress had not been treated in time, there would have been a possibility of infection.

This is the first case of stitching on the tigress's tongue

The tigress's tongue was hanging from one side due to being cut off in battle. In such a situation, the veterinarians put about 12 stitches on the tigress's tongue during the treatment.

Veterinarian Rajeev Garg said that during the rescue operation across the country including Ranthambore, it was the first rescue operation of its kind to stitch on the tongue of any tiger. Earlier in Ranthambore, no tiger or tigress's tongue was stitched.

Stitches will heal automatically

Veterinarian Rajiv Garg said that the tigress will not have to do re-tranquilizers to cut the stitches. The tongue of the wild animals is rough, so the tigress' wound will heal automatically in a few days and the stitches will break automatically. This process will take three to four days. Till then the tigress will not be able to hunt and eat. Although the tigress is still full, she will not need food right now.
