Forest Minister Sudhir Mungantiwar on Wednesday said there are preliminary reports suggesting Jai, the biggest tiger in the state, has wandered in the neighbourhood corridor of Pauni (Bhandara district) in Vidarbha region.

Jai, who is tagged as a head turner, went missing from his home location Umred-Karhandla Wildlife Sanctuary for the last few months, causing panic amongst the forest department. The forest ministry has deployed five teams to search the forest corridors to locate missing Jai.
