Check out this equivalent video shared on YouTube last year:
While lots of pointed out that the video is an old one, other people criticised Mr Goenka for sharing a clip which shows humans encroaching upon the territory of animals. “A sign from up above sir,” a user wrote, “This means that we are invading their territory. I hope the referral of the project will be done with this sighting as proof.”

Some took a dig at the tweet by stating that Lalkuan is in Uttarakhand.

Then there was a user who justified the sighting. “As Lalkuan is adjacent to Jim Corbett National park, it is most likely that the tiger came from there,” he wrote.
