During her killing spree, which lasted more than two years, T-1 had seemed especially clever. The hunt mounted by the Indian authorities in recent weeks involved scores of forest guards, police officers, remote camera sensors, jeeps, bulldozers (to clear away the bush) and five Indian elephants, with sharpshooters mounted on their backs. (The elephants were later withdrawn from the hunt, after one of them killed someone.) The veterinarians and Mr. Khan blamed each other for botching earlier capture attempts. In mid-September, Mr. Khan left the hunt in a huff, but he returned after the elephants were withdrawn.
