Raveena Tandon has reportedly been given relief in the tiger video case by the forest department. “It was the responsibility of the driver to follow the rules and regulations,” said the Chief Conservator of Forest, JP Chouhan.
He further said, “There is no fault of the visitors. We believe that the drivers and guides who are taught every year about how to take care of the safety of the visitors. It is in the hands of the driver to move the vehicle back and forth. The celebrity does not have control over that. So, it was the responsibility of the driver to follow the rules and regulations.(sic)”
“Normally action is not taken against visitors (to the reserve) because we believe that the guides and the drivers who are trained every year before the tourist season on the dos and don’ts, and maneuvering the vehicle is their job,” added Chauhan.

A probe against Tandon began after the actor’s video of a safari and capturing pictures and videos of a tiger went viral alleging that her vehicle was too close to the animal. The actor visited the Satpura Tiger Reserve in Madhya Pradesh on November 22 and shared pictures and videos from her safari on social media. In one of the videos, a tigress is seen walking apparently quite close to her vehicle and growling at the camera as she tries to cross a road.
Soon after the video went viral and netizens accused her of flouting rules, Tandon took to Twitter to clarify that she did not flout any guidelines and that the vehicle “didn’t deviate from the designated tourism path.”
“A tiger gets close to the deputy ranger’s bike. One can never predict when and how tigers will react. It’s the Forest Department licensed vehicle, with their guides and drivers who are trained to know their boundaries and legalities,” she tweeted.
Luckily for us ,that we did not take any sudden action, but sat quiet and watched the tigress, move on.We we’re on the tourism path, which mostly these tigers cross. And Katy the tigress in this video aswell, is habituated to coming close to vehicles and snarling. pic.twitter.com/gNPBujbfBP
