In a first of its kind case, a cyber expert based in Pune tried to hack into the digital collar of a tiger which was in Madhya Pradesh to track the movements of the big cat.
The incident prompted authorities at the Bori-Satpura tiger reserve to seek registration of an FIR with a view to a detailed probe into the case. The matter was discussed during a meeting on Monday between senior officials of Madhya Pradesh wildlife department and the Wildlife Institute of India (WII). Dr K Ramesh of WII, who was present at the meeting, said somebody had tried to hack into the Iridium Satellite Collar from Pune in Maharashtra. The collar on Panna-211 - the code name for the said tiger - stopped working from July 24 onwards, according to the minutes of the meeting.
