The Forest department has placed three cages and is bringing in a fourth cage to trap the beast. The area which the beast is frequenting is also kept under the watch of a camera. While live baits in form of goats are tied to the cage,the tiger has yet not attacked them. Not used to killing domestic animals,the tiger is still trying to kill a wild animal for food, said Ashok Mishra,District Forest Officer,Lucknow.
