Poor animal! Had it known that the forest officials are slow & sloppy, it would, not have dared to enter the human habitat. It had to meet its death NOT because of the villagers but because of the inaction of the babus on time, who take everything for granted.
Now that they could not catch the animal alive & send it to a zoo, they are flexing their muscles by saying the people responsible for the death of the animal will be brought to book. As if they themselves are not the culprits!!
