The wildlife authority in Assam today ruled out poaching as a cause behind deaths of 10 tigers in the Kaziranga National Park (KNP) since November 2008 till date.

MC Malakar, chief wildlife warden, told The Tribune that as carcass of none of the 10 tigers found dead in and around KNP since November 2008 had been taken away, the reason of deaths could be anything but poaching.
